Microids, a prominent player in the gaming industry, has just launched a brand-new third-party publishing division. This exciting development comes with an international partnership with Kwalee, a UK-based game developer and publisher. Together, they will be bringing Fallen Tree Games Limited's latest release, The Precinct, to gamers worldwide.
What Does This New Division Mean for Microids?
According to Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids, the new division will play a crucial role in extending their publishing expertise to new partners. "We are delighted to announce the creation of our Third-Party Publishing division, which will allow us to extend our expertise to new partners while strengthening relationships with our long-standing collaborators," Longeard shared.
This division comprises a specialized team of seven individuals who already work within Microids. They bring extensive experience in editorial, sourcing, and publishing, ensuring the division is fully equipped to handle new collaborations.
This new branch is distinct from the indie-focused arm Microids launched back in 2017. By creating this third-party division, Microids aims to build on its successful history of collaboration with industry giants. They have worked on physical editions with notable names like Kepler Interactive for Sifu, Bilibili for F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch, Forever Entertainment for House of the Dead and Front Mission 1st, and Oddworld Inhabitants for Oddworld Soulstorm.
A New Chapter: Partnership with Kwalee
As part of its inaugural venture, Microids is partnering with Kwalee to bring The Precinct to a wider audience. This partnership demonstrates Microids' commitment to delivering quality gaming experiences while expanding its international reach. Ben Forrester, VP of Publishing for PC & Console at Kwalee, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “Their expertise in physical distribution aligns perfectly with our vision for the game.”
