Codemasters picks up NetDevil's Jumpgate MMO

Codemasters will be bringing NetDevil's space-based massively multiplayer online game Jumpgate to Europe in 2008.

The UK publisher adds Jumpgate to a portfolio of MMO's which includes Archlord, Dungeons and Dragons Online and The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.

"Codemasters has already established themselves as a premium game developer and publisher; as well as one of the most successful MMO operators in the business," commented Scott Brown, president of NetDevil.

"This combination of experience and dedication is a perfect fit for NetDevil and we are thrilled to be working with such a great partner."

As well as exclusive European rights, Codemasters intends to help establish Jumpgate in North America in late 2008.
