This press release is almost identical to the one we saw in April, which more-or-less confirms that the Dungeon Lords and Gothic franchises are headed to console systems.
Console-dation Means Big Things for JoWooD and DreamCatcher!
Toronto, Canada; Vienna, Austria May 11th, 2007. DreamCatcher Interactive Inc. / JoWooD Productions Software AG have decided to take the next step and develop cutting edge console titles on the current generation of systems from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.
The console market is one of the fastest growing segments of the entertainment industry with approximately 11 million units of Xbox 360, 6 million units of the Nintendo Wii and 3.5 million units of the PlayStation 3 being sold worldwide to date.
DreamCatcher Interactive Inc., part of the JoWooD Group, intends to publish the group’s most successful brands on the current generation of console systems. The DreamCatcher merger has expanded the Austrian Publisher’s portfolio considerably. With top-grossing franchises like Gothic, SpellForce, Painkiller and Dungeon Lords vying for console versions, JoWooD is in a favorable situation and is convinced of its ability to successfully position the new games in the console market.
DreamCatcher and JoWooD have already started to negotiate with development studios and schedule the first releases at the end of 2008, beginning of 2009; effectively ending legacy projects on the previous generation of consoles scheduled later this year.
