It would seem that the folks responsible for A Vampyre Story's retail presence in the UK have been selected.
93 Games have signed the UK publishing rights to "A Vampyre Story" from Crimson Cow, while Ascaron Entertainment have been appointed as the UK distribution partner. The collective agreement will see the adventure title on UK retail shelves in Q4 2007.

    I'm sure the North American distributor will be announced eventually.

    Got some inside info you'd like to share with us? They seem to be making good progress to me, and this will not be a long game. (It's been repeatedly said that it will be comparable to full throttle in length.)

    Plus Bill Tiller's said more than once that he doesn't want to be working on this game in 2008...I don't think he'd say that if he thought getting it out this year wasn't possible.

    What Udvarnoky said.

    Great that it seems like the're still predicting a Q4 2007 release! Q3 begins in about 6 weeks...

    Does the publisher change its name with every new publishing deal, or is it a future goal kinda thing?
  • Udvarnoky on 17 May, 2007, 16:44…
    Crimson Cow is the game's publisher - they've got the worldwide rights. They're signing other companies to publish/distribute the game in specific territories. It's a common thing.

    Yeah, that's pretty common, but it seems to be a little bit more complicated here:

    Crimson Cow owns the world wide publishing rights and signs the French company Focus Home Interactive to publish the game in France, Benelux and the UK. Then Focus signs 93 games to publish the game in the UK, who sign Ascaron to distribute the game ;)

    I was mocking the name "93 Games"...

    Everyone's getting a slice of the pie apart from Wolfgang!

    Awesome news! Looks like good a publisher and a good distribution partner, too.
