Paradox Interactive acquires the intellectual property for Majesty

New York, USA (July 3, 2007) - Paradox Interactive announced today that the company has acquired the intellectual property for the widely known and highly acclaimed title Majesty.

It was in the spring of '98 that Cyberlore announced the development of its sixth computer game title - Majesty. This fantasy kingdom sim quickly became one of the most renowned games to be released in the genre and sold over 500.000 copies worldwide.

In the announcement, Paradox Interactive made it clear that their intention is to create a portfolio under the Majesty brand to further strengthen the franchise, and to build on the strong fan base the brand has garnered so far.

"Majesty was a ground breaking game when it was released and a breath of fresh air in the RTS-genre", said Theodore Bergqvist, Chairman and CEO of Paradox Interactive. "Our vision is to build upon the strengths of the brand and capitalize on those core elements that have kept fans rating Majesty as one of the best games ever released".

"We strongly feel that Majesty deserves to be revitalized and there are few gaming companies out there capable of taking this franchise to the next level", said Lester Humphreys, Founder of Cyberlore Studios. "There is no question in our minds that Paradox Interactive is the right company to do just that."

Gamers can already now try out the Majesty franchise on GamersGate. The portal has added Majesty Gold Edition to its increasingly growing portfolio. The Gold Edition includes the original game as well as the expansion Northern Kingdom.

I notice that no one has posted a reply here, and there have been at least 4,000 views. I find that somewhat strange.

Oh, yes. Nobody but Spiderman has answered my question in the Thread, "Gamespy or Hamachi?", thus I shall use the replies to this thread here as a medium to convey answers over there...

Well, this is really just an announcement. There's been plenty of discussion about it in earlier threads in the forum.

Common typo

The "heroes" page at the Maj2 website repeats a common typo, spelling "rogues" as "rouges" in all but one place. Not important, but irks me a bit every time I see it.
