Haemimont Games Staff And Projects Won’t Be Affected By Acquisition

According to VGC, it’s reassuring to know that Haemimont Games’ team and management will stay together, and their current projects will carry on as planned.

Gabriel Dobrev, founder of Haemimont Games, expressed his excitement about becoming part of the Paradox family. He noted that there’s a strong cultural alignment between the two companies, making them feel right at home. This partnership will allow them to expand the depth and intensity of their games, offering richer experiences to players. Additionally, it presents fresh opportunities for their team, technology, and creative endeavors, which they are eager to explore.

Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox, expressed his delight about Haemimont Games joining Paradox. He highlighted the studio’s close-knit team with extensive experience in creating management games, and their successful projects. Moreover, he mentioned their creative flair, unique technology, a new game concept they’re working on, and a culture that aligns well with Paradox’s work ethos. He expressed confidence in Haemimont Games’ team and leadership, and emphasized that their primary goal now is to help them continue creating exceptional games under their new ownership.

Haemimont Games, which has been crafting games since the year 2000, is best known for its latest release: Jagged Alliance 3. Published by THQ Nordic in 2023, this game continues the popular Tactical RPG series and was met with great acclaim. Critics on Open Critic gave it a “Strong” rating, with an impressive 94% recommending the game.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve been eagerly diving into Paradox Interactive’s latest gem – Cities Skylines 2. However, my experience has been tainted by some technical glitches and performance issues that have cropped up. Unfortunately, these problems have grown so substantial that the console release of the game has been postponed indefinitely. Despite these setbacks, I can vouch for the game’s quality when it comes to city-building mechanics; as our review puts it, “Besides the technical hiccups (which Paradox acknowledges), Cities Skylines 2 remains a masterfully crafted jewel in the city-building genre. At present, there isn’t another game that offers the same breadth and depth.”
