(Nasdaq: SSTR), and publisher Lago srl., announced that they have entered into a broad Western European publishing and distribution deal covering ten of Strategy First?s upcoming titles. The initial term of the agreement runs through the release of ten titles, anticipated to be distributed over the next nine months. This important European initiative with Lago places Strategy First squarely in the ranks of many of the industry?s leading PC game makers. Black Bean is the game label of Lago srl, the publishing arm of Leader Group; one of the leading videogame companies in Italy. Black Bean was first launched in December 2004 and with the release of major titles such as; ?SCAR: Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo? and the strategy / RPG title ?Rising Kingdoms?, has since established major publishing and distribution partnerships across Europe. Black Bean?s main goal is to strengthen and diversify their product line and to establish themselves as a leading publisher in the European market. Commenting on the new agreement, Clive Kabatznik, President and CEO of Silverstar Holdings, said, ?Forging this kind of important strategic relationship underscores the growing strength of Strategy First in both title selection and international presence. Partnering with one of Europe?s leading software publishers and distributors provides an excellent platform for our future West European distribution. This relationship, along with our strong network in Eastern Europe, positions Strategy First as the publisher of choice for developers seeking the strongest international distribution for their products.? write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
