The MMO gaming world is complex. Usually, these type of games have different versions, depending on the continent where is being published, we all know which famous games I’m talking about. Some games are the same in the whole world, but published by different companies under an agreement with the original developer.
Earthrise will be published in Europe by Iceberg Interactive, as stated in a recent press release to announce the agreement between both companies.
“When we first laid eyes on Masthead Studios’ marvellous artwork for Earthrise, we were immediately convinced that this was a great title for us to add depth and diversity to our already promising MMO line-up. We set course on the MMO-sea earlier this year, we have been enjoying the journey so far, and think Earthrise will appeal to many MMO gamers out there.” says Erik Schreuder, CEO at Iceberg Interactive.
“We are excited to partner with Iceberg Interactive for publishing and distribution of Earthrise in Europe,” said Atanas Atanasov, producer of Earthrise and director of MastheadStudios. “We are confident that the Iceberg team is truly dedicated to the commercial success of Earthrise, bringing our unique and compelling sandbox style gameplay to their established MMO fan base and we can’t wait for players to experience the world of Enterra first hand!”
Good news for the Europeans sci-fi MMO lovers, as they now know a company takes over the responsibility of bringing Earthrise to one of the most important MMO markets, behind the US. Masthead Studios and Iceberg Interactive agreement for Earthrise, shows things can be done in advance in case of future problems, avoiding what happened with certain fantasy game, inspired by certain British writer’s famous novels.
