Grenoble, France, March 05, 2013 – After
many weeks of discussions, Ageod (
www.ageod.com) is very pleased to announce that
Pride of Nations and
Rise of Prussia are coming
home. From 1
st March Paradox Interactive have surrendered their
commercial rights to sell any Ageod game including these two
flagship titles.
As many may know, Ageod joined the Slitherine Group in January
this year. Both Pride of Nations and Rise of Prussia were built on
the AGEOD engine and were released during Ageod’s period of
time with Paradox and since leaving Paradox and until joining the
Slitherine Group their future has been uncertain. “We
now have to tell you that the future is bright!”, says
Philippe Thibaut, Director of Ageod “and to celebrate
this move we can announce that we are working on a patch to upgrade
both titles. This will only be available through our Group
outlets”.
“Our Policy will be to continue to fully support our
developers and their titles at realistic price points, in order
that they can continue to bring to users quality turn based
strategy games” says JD McNeil, C.E.O. of the Slitherine
Group . “This involves the effort and work necessary to
support, update and improve our group games as and when this is
needed, even long after initial release. So rest assured that
we will continue to discuss and engage with our audience, on how
and where to patch and add new features where possible”.
As a consequence of this deal, the
Ageod forum will be the place to discuss these
games and all aspects of future releases, updates and
news.
