Paradox Interactive hat angekündigt, dass man die Triumph Studios übernommen hat. Die im Jahr 1997 gegründeten Triumph Studios sind für die "Age of Wonders"- und "Overlord"-Spiele bekannt. Die Gründer Lennart Sas und Arno van Wingerden bleiben im Unternehmen. Am Team und Management wird sich nichts ändern, während die Triumph Studios wie geplant an ihren aktuellen Projekten weiterarbeiten werden. Allerdings werden die Spiele jetzt von Paradox Interactive veröffentlicht.
Fredrik Wester, CEO at Paradox Interactive: "Triumph Studios is a developer of our own heart. They are world-leading within their niche and have built a large and dedicated community over the years, counting quite a few Paradox employees among their hardcore fans. We have great faith in Lennart, Arno and the Triumph team, and our main focus now is to ensure that they can continue to create their magic under new ownership."
Lennart Sas, CEO and co-founder of Triumph Studios: "We have been approached by others before with an interest to acquire us, but this is not merely a business transaction for us. This is a liaison with a partner that can help us grow sustainably by ensuring the stability and continuity needed for us to do more of what we do best - develop some of the best turn-based strategy games on the market today. Paradox is a good match for us both culturally and games-wise. They get it. It’s as simple as that, and we are extremely excited about the acquisition."
