Conspiracy to Excite - Doors open for new publishing arm
Press release 22nd May 2006
Conspiracy Entertainment Europe is pleased
to announce the opening of its UK office which will be headed
by industry veteran, Howard Newmark, acting as Vice President
of Publishing. Although the company's main HQ is in Santa
Monica, California, USA, the UK office will be autonomous,
establishing its own identity, but with a number of goals and
objectives mirroring the parent company to further build on
the success of Conspiracy Entertainment.
"The key to success for Conspiracy
Entertainment in Europe relies on a number of
important factors, but already we have put in place key
elements to ensure both our short and long term success. We
have already set up a distribution network across mainland
Europe and Australia with a number of leading distributors
and hope to make an announcement shortly with regard to UK
distribution. The company already has an impressive roster of
console titles, across handheld, current and next-gen and we
are about to sign further titles after successful
negotiations at the recent E3... Further announcements will
be made over the next few months, when we expect to unveil
some exciting acquisitions. Importantly, we will ensure that
Conspiracy Entertainment titles are sold at
a competitive price point, but without compromising quality",
said Howard Newmark."
The launch title for Conspiracy Entertainment
UK/Europe will be Archer MacLean's Pool Paradise
International Edition on the PS2, retailing at
£14:99/19.99 * (release date TBA). This builds on the
success of the highly acclaimed Archer MacLean Pool Paradise
series.
Newmark continues "Presently Conspiracy Entertainment
Europe, with funding in place, is looking to meet
with developers who have console titles available. We have
some advantage over other value publishers, given that we
have not only UK and European distribution, but also the
possibility of US distribution via our parent company."
