战马工作室正式被THQ/Koch Media收购

一年前的今天,来自捷克的独立游戏团队“战马工作室(Warhorse Studios)带来了一款角色扮演游戏《天国:拯救》(Kingdom Come: Deliverance)。

与许多传统欧美角色扮演游戏截然不同的现实历史背景主题,以及拟真的剑斗系统让本作呈现出了鲜明独特的个性,优质的内容也让玩家和媒体给予了高度赞誉。本作获得了30多个奖项,并且已经在全平台卖出了200万份,作为一款独立游戏来说成绩十分出色。

在它发售一周年之际,战马工作室官方宣布,他们将以3320万欧元(€33.2 million)的价格被THQ Nordic旗下的全资子公司Koch Media收购,该合同也包括《天国:拯救》系列的全部版权。

对于此次收购,双方公司发言人先后发表了公告

Lars Wingefors – CEO of THQ Nordic AB

“Warhorse Studios is one of the leading independent studios in Europe and I am proud to welcome them to the THQ Nordic group. Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which has now sold over two million copies, has been a great success since the release exactly one year ago. I look forward to continue working with the founders who will continue managing the studio under strong creative freedom for many years to come.”

Martin Fryvalsky – CEO of Warhorse Studios

“Becoming part of THQ Nordic family is an important milestone for our studio. We began as a small start-up with a handful of employees who were enthusiastic enough to join this challenging project. The skills of our team members, trust and support of our main investor and passion of our fans, who supported development of Kingdom Come: Deliverance through a Kickstarter campaign, helped us grow to an international level. We believe that backing by THQ Nordic will give us an extra push in our mission to bring exciting games to our customers and extend the frontiers of the gaming industry.”

谁是Koch Media?

我想大家对于战马工作室和THQ并不陌生了(人家都上核聚变了),而这个所谓的Koch Media如果不熟悉的话,你要是关注过最近的游戏圈新闻大概这么说就懂了——它就是深银(Deep Silver)的总公司。

来自于德国奥地利的Koch Media于1994年创立,原本是一家专门制作和销售电脑软件的公司,并在两年后开始接触电子游戏发行市场。2002年为了进一步扩展游戏领域,它们成立了Deep Silver部门,专门负责游戏相关内容。

2018年2月,由于“公司两位创始人退休并且家族中没人对这门生意感兴趣”这样的理由,Koch Media被THQ以将近1.5亿美元的价格收购。
