Sega köper Creative Assembly!

Vi hörde nyligen att Creative Assemblys första konsolspel Spartan: Total Warrior skulle ges ut av Sega, men vi förstod då inte att Sega planerade ett uppköp av den engelska studion. Ett mycket smart drag från den japanska speljätten då Creative Assembly äger alla rättigheter till sina Total War-spel helt själva. Rome: Total War var fjolårets bästa strategispel och vi placerade det på fjärde plats totalt bland årets bästa spel. Det första spelet från Creative Assembly som släpps av Sega bli Spartan: Total Warrior, men fler Total War-spel och även andra framtida projekt ska vara på väg.

Sega of America och Europes VD Naoya Tsurumi meddelar:

"This news is direct evidence of SEGA delivering it's strategic objective of strengthening our emphasis in the western market. As our first developer acquisition in the West since we became a publisher it clearly demonstrates that we have set our sights on working with the very best talent in the industry".

Tim Ansell, VD för Creative Assembly:

"We are delighted to have signed with SEGA, a company which we quickly realised shared our creative vision and were appreciative of our ambition to not only enhance stability but also position ourselves for future growth as a developer. SEGA have extremely impressive plans which will take shape throughout the coming years, and this is something which we were very eager to be a part of".
