Paradox Interactive signs worldwide deal with Battlefront.com
Recognized global publisher Paradox
Interactive announced today that it has signed a worldwide deal with developer
Battlefront.com to publish their upcoming PC title "Combat Mission: Shock
Force".
The computer games series "Combat Mission" has received much acclaim from the
gaming community for its simulations of tactical battles. Its fans span the
globe and "Combat Mission: Shock Force" is described as the pinnacle of the
series where the developers have poured years of experience into the game and
its entirely new engine.
This tactical military simulation depicts a hypothetical near future conflict
between NATO and Syrian forces in Syria.A highly story driven semi-dynamic
Campaign, from the US perspective, offers a completely new experience for
"Combat Mission" fans. Each battle include a detailed Mission Briefing outlining
specific Objectives, which can range from taking a particular spot on the map to
retaining force cohesion. The Objectives for each side can be different,
allowing each side to fight according to its own goals rather than a single set
common to both.
"'Battlefront.com' has carved a very special niche for themselves in the
tactical battles simulations arena, much like Paradox Interactive has in the
area of strategy games", said Executive Vice President Fredrik Wester. "Both
companies are highly committed to bringing quality games with much replayability
to fans of war and strategy games and we are thrilled to be publishing their
flagship title "Combat Mission: Shock Force" worldwide".
"Combat Mission: Shock Force is the culmination of 9 years of experience in
developing and publishing the award-winning Combat Mission series. It goes
without saying that we wanted the best partner to bring this game to a worldwide
audience, and when Paradox Interactive signaled their interest, we did not need
to look any further", said Martin van Balkom, President of Battlefront.com.
"Paradox' track record and incredible team is giving us exactly what we've been
looking for in a publisher, and those who are familiar with Battlefront's past,
will know just how much that means. Combat Mission: Shock Force is going to be a
new revolution as genuine tactical combat simulation for the PC, and we're
excited to call Paradox our partner to finalize and then release it to gamers
worldwide!"
