Major, highly significant investment includes back catalogue, and will guarantee the absolute, long-term continuity of development for the game
Wargame and strategy specialist Slitherine Software has acquired the licence, publishing rights, and back catalogue for the Warhammer-derived Blood Bowl franchise from Nacon, following the latter's filing for insolvency. As part of the deal, Slitherine will publish the upcoming Warhammer Blood Bowl.
The game will continue to be made by long-standing developer Cyanide Studio. Slitherine expressed its commitment to actively support and expand the Blood Bowl video game, focusing on community feedback, long-term development, and ongoing player engagement.
Slitherine's Director of Publishing, Marco Minoli, highlighted that the deal ensures the specialized, dedicated publishing support needed for the franchise. This move is described as a major and highly significant investment for Slitherine, aiming to secure the long-term continuity of development for the game.
The acquisition is part of Slitherine's broader expansion strategy within the strategy and tactics space, following a series of recent publishing partnerships and catalog acquisitions announced by the company over the past year.
