Bulgariska Haemimont Games står bakom titlar såsom Tropico 3, Tropico 4, Tropico 5, Jagged Alliance 3, The Firat Templar samt Rising Kingdoms. Ett rutinerat gäng strategitokar med andra ord, vilka nu kommer att arbeta under styrning från svenska Paradox som precis meddelat att de köpt upp Haemimont. Bulgarerna får dock fortsätta att arbeta på som innan, skrivs in som dotterbolag till den svenska strategijätten och pågående projekt ska slutföras.
Fredrik Wester, CEO Paradox:
"We are very happy to welcome Haemimont Games to Paradox! They bring a tight-knit team with long experience in developing management games with many well received projects in their portfolio. Moreover, they have a strong creative streak, technology developed for their niche, a new IP in development and a strong culture that fits Paradox's way of working. We have strong faith in their team and leadership, and our main focus now is to ensure that they can continue to create great games under new ownership."
Gabriel Dobrev, Haemimont Games grundare:
"We're delighted to become a part of the Paradox family. The cultural fit between our companies is remarkable, and we already feel at home. This partnership empowers us to push the boundaries of our games, delivering deeper and more intense experiences to our players. It also opens new horizons for our team, technology, and creative processes, which we're eager to explore. Expect amazing new games from us!"
