John Romero and Paradox Interactive are Making a Strategy Game
Romero Games – a developer team founded by one of the fathers of Doom, John Romero – has signed a cooperation deal with Paradox Interactive. Its result is to become a completely new strategy game IP.
Romero Games - a studio founded by John Romero, co-creator of the Doom series and creator of such productions as Heretic, Hexen or Daikatana - has established cooperation with the publisher Paradox Interactive. The developer will create a new IP under an unknown title. We only know that it will be a strategy game. Representatives of Paradox Interactive do not hide their satisfaction.
“We are thrilled to work with industry legends, Brenda and John Romero, whose games we’ve grown up playing ourselves and long admired,” said Ebba Ljungerud, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “At Paradox Interactive, we’ve built a reputation for top-tier strategy games and we’re employing that expertise to help build something really special with the team at Romero Games.”
Developers from Romero Games on the other end are happy that they will finally have the opportunity to realize their dream project.
“This has been a project we’ve been wanting to work on for a long time, so it’s especially exciting that we’ll be partnering with Paradox Interactive to fully realize that dream,” said Brenda Romero, Co-Founder of Romero Games. “We can’t wait to tell everyone more, so make sure you watch this space!”
The said "space" is the romeroparadox.com website. So far, it is not known when exactly we will get some first concrete information about John Romero's mysterious project, but the information on this website suggests that it should happen before this year's E3 fair. All that remains is to arm oneself with patience.
