Continuing to purchase studios like they’re releasing DLC, Paradox Interactive at present introduced they’ve acquired Iceflake Studios, the Finnish studio who’re making post-apocalyptic city-builder Surviving The Aftermath. They’re turning into Paradox’s ninth studio. Paradox speak vaguely about Iceflake serving to make extra games of their “core genres” so I assume they’ll be persevering with with strat-o-build-a-sim-y-RPG issues.
Surviving The Aftermath is at the moment in early entry, although our Nate thinks it’d be better off waiting until it was finished. Don’t be confused by Aftermath sharing a reputation with Surviving Mars, which Paradox additionally publish – that was created by Haemimont Games.
“The collaborative efforts we’ve shared thus far with Iceflake have given us all the confidence that this is a natural fit,” Paradox COO Charlotta Nilsson mentioned in at present’s announcement. “Surviving the Aftermath fits the Paradox portfolio perfectly, and Iceflake has shown themselves to be the kind of partner who can help us create more titles in our core genres. Turning this relationship into a long-term partnership is an easy decision, and we’re eager to share more great games with our audience in the years to come.”
Paradox’s steady is now: the principle gang at Paradox Development Studio in Sweden; Paradox Arctic in Sweden; one other Swedish workforce in Malmö; the mysterious Paradox Tectonic led by Rod Humble in California; Age Of Wonders devs Triumph Studios in The Netherlands; BattleTech and Shadowrun studio Harebrained Schemes in Seattle; the newly-opened Paradox Tinto in Spain, who’ll assistance on Europa Universalis IV for a bit then make their own grand strategy game; Playrion Game Studio in Paris, who make Airlines Manager; and Iceflake right here. Those final three have been all introduced throughout the previous two months. Busy instances at Paradox.
