1C Company Acquires an In-House Development Studio of Akella

1C has acquired Akella's "Sea Dog" in-house development studio. The Sea Dog team is comprised of experienced developers who contributed to the creation of such hits as Sea Dogs, Pirates of the Caribbean and Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales. Within Akella, this development studio has become one of the few Russian teams successfully developing games for the Xbox and Xbox 360.

The team is currently working on the Age of Pirates: Captain Blood project that will be released on PC and Xbox 360. Once the current project is completed, 1C's newly acquired studio will develop a wide range of titles for multiple game platforms. According to the agreement between 1C and Akella, Akella has acquired the worldwide publishing rights to PT Boats: Knights of the Sea.

The series of pirates titles will be continued by another of Akella's studios and a new announcement will follow shortly.
