The identity of the buyer is still unknown
If this name doesn’t mean anything to you, know that it recently made the news with the release of Park Beyondan amusement park management game meant to provide some competition to Planet Coaster. The result, however, was very mixed with fairly average feedback on the game. The CV of the German studio is not limited to this semi-failure since it also worked on Tropico 6as well as on several episodes of the series Might & Magic.
All that, for Bandai Namco, is in the past. While he got his hands on the studio in 2022, we must believe that the performances of Park Beyond were not enough for the Japanese publisher to want to keep this team. Instead of dissolving it, he therefore decides to sell it to a private partner “ specialized in video games » according to GamesIndustry.biz, without knowing who it is at the moment.
According to the publisher, the studio should continue its work on simulation/management and strategy games, but it is difficult to think that the studio will escape some layoffs during this transfer of power.
