Paradox Interactive Purchases Haemimont Games, the Studio Behind Jagged Alliance 3 and Tropico

Paradox Interactive Expands Its Portfolio with Haemimont Games Acquisition

Paradox Interactive, a renowned name in strategy gaming, has announced the acquisition of Haemimont Games, a gem from Bulgaria celebrated for its simulation and city-building titles. This latest addition marks a significant expansion of Paradox’s development capabilities.

“We are very happy to welcome Haemimont Games to Paradox!”said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox, in a press release.“They bring a tight-knit team with long experience in developing management games, with many well-received projects in their portfolio. Moreover, they have a strong creative streak, technology developed for their niche, a new IP in development and a strong culture that fits Paradox’s way of working. We have strong faith in their team and leadership, and our main focus now is to ensure that they can continue to create great games under new ownership.”

Haemimont’s Legacy and Recent Works

Haemimont Games has a rich history of successful titles, including their latest offering, Jagged Alliance 3. This game marks a noteworthy addition to the storied franchise, known for its strategic turn-based gameplay that has evolved over three decades. In the past, the studio also developed popular city-building games such as Tropico 3, Tropico 4, and Tropico 5, alongside the action RPG Victor Vran.

A Proven Partnership

This acquisition isn’t their first collaboration. Paradox and Haemimont previously partnered on the successful title Surviving Mars, which focused on Martian colony-building. Although post-launch support for the game diminished in 2019, Abstraction Games took the reins in 2021, enhancing the game with new content.

Excitement for the Future

Gabriel Dobrev, the Founder of Haemimont Games, expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition:

“We’re delighted to become a part of the Paradox family! The cultural fit between our companies is remarkable, and we already feel at home. This partnership empowers us to push the boundaries of our games, delivering deeper and more intense experiences to our players. It also opens new horizons for our team, technology, and creative processes, which we’re eager to explore. Expect amazing new games from us!”

Looking Ahead

Details about the acquisition deal, including the financial aspects, remain undisclosed. However, it has been confirmed that the leadership and development teams at Haemimont Games will remain unchanged, ensuring continuity on current and upcoming unannounced projects.

As Paradox Interactive broadens its development landscape, gamers can anticipate exciting developments and innovative titles from Haemimont Games in the near future.
