Kepler Interactive has acquired a stake in Belgian indie publisher Oro Interactive from venture capital firm ForsVC. This marks ForsVC's first exit, providing over a sevenfold return in under two years. Oro Interactive will remain independent, with Kepler as its primary investor, and the sale price has been kept confidential.
Oro Interactive's CEO, Sam De Boeck, expressed gratitude towards ForsVC for their early belief in the company's vision. The transition of ownership to Kepler is seen as a natural progression for Oro, with the renowned games company's backing expected to enhance their services for studios.
ForsVC's managing partner, Arne Ottoy, highlighted their early support for Oro Interactive's business model, emphasizing a focus on smaller games and favorable terms for developers. The involvement of Kepler, a leading independent publisher, is viewed as validation of this approach and a positive sign for the Belgian games industry.
