NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. and DEEP SILVER sign co-publishing agreement


The leading game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. and DEEP SILVER today announce the signing of a co-publishing agreement, as a result of which Koch Media will market three further titles in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Baltic, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.

These include in particular Warhammer: Battle March for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft (where Koch Media/Deep Silver acts as the publisher in Europe), Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Battle March for the PC and The Fast & The Furious for the PlayStation Portable. Koch Media has already published the PC real-time strategy game Warhammer: Mark of Chaos together with NAMCO BANDAI in December 2006.

“The PC version of Warhammer: Mark of Chaos was received with great critical acclaim in the press. We are very pleased to be able to continue the successful cooperation with NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc as the grim Warhammer world offers the player a unique playing experience on Xbox 360," said Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, Managing Director of Koch Media. “And with The Fast & The Furious, we have a another strong and well-known license on the PSP.”

Debuting the series’ tactical real-time action on Xbox 360 and delivering all-new content to 2006’s critically acclaimed Warhammer: Mark of Chaos for the PC, Warhammer: Battle March brings the brutality, strategy and drama of warfare to life with six unique playable armies, fully customizable units and intense online clashes.

An expansion to Warhammer: Mark of Chaos for the PC, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Battle March builds upon the game’s tactical foundation to offer new units for each army as well as an original campaign and new online modes.

The Fast & the Furious on the PSP system will allow players to feel an unparalleled sense of power as they drift their way through beautiful visuals and new modes exclusive to the PSP system.
