Paradox Interactive has announced the acquisition of Haemimont Games, the masterminds behind titles like Tropico. This new chapter means that Haemimont is now officially a subsidiary of Paradox, and it seems they’re ready for some intriguing developments ahead.
“We are very happy to welcome Haemimont Games to Paradox!” exclaimed Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester. He made this statement public through a media release. He sees potential here, emphasizing their experience developing management games and impressive portfolio.
The culture at Haemimont appears to be a perfect fit for Paradox. Gabriel Dobrev, founder of Haemimont, expressed his enthusiasm: “The cultural fit between our companies is remarkable, and we already feel at home.” It’s refreshing to hear such genuine sentiments during corporate acquisitions—like finding your old favorite coffee shop in a bustling city. The team will keep working on all current projects with little disruption, which is always comforting news for fans eagerly awaiting upcoming releases.
This isn’t just about business; it’s about creativity flowing freely. Dobrev mentioned how this partnership allows them to push boundaries further than ever before. Who knows what surprises they have up their sleeves? With technology developed for their niche and a new IP in development, there’s plenty to look forward to as both companies work together.
A bit of history for those who may not know: Haemimont was founded in Bulgaria in 1997. They’ve spent over 25 years crafting real-time strategy and city-building games like Surviving Mars, Grand Ages: Rome, and the various iterations of Tropico.
The details surrounding the acquisition cost remain undisclosed, sometimes keeping secrets adds an air of mystery around these deals. But one thing’s certain: gamers are curious about what comes next from this dynamic duo.
