Publisher Tropico will open its third studio. She will be engaged in a new project on IP Commandos.
The future studio has no name yet. It is known that it will be placed in Frankfurt and placed under the leadership of Jürgen Reußwig. This is an ex-manager of SunFlowers (developer Anno) and a former top manager of Games Distillery.
In addition to the new developer, Kalypso Media has two more: Realmforge and Gaming Minds. Both are also in Germany, writes Gamesindustry.biz .
The creation of another studio is included in the long-term development plan of Kalypso Media. The impetus for growth will be the release of a new project for the world-famous franchise. Therefore, the developer will be given a project from the Commandos series. Kalypso Media bought the rights to this IP last year and now wants to develop it on consoles and PCs.
Note that the first Commandos was released in the late 90s, and the last one in 2006. All titles of the franchise were developed by Pyro Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. The 2006 project received mixed reviews from critics.
Kalypso Media Group itself is best known as the publisher of several numbered parts of Tropico (from the third to the sixth).
