Eurogamer Network launches Eurogamer France
Brighton, England, October 25, 2007: Eurogamer Network is proud to announce the launch of the company's third European website, Eurogamer France. The site can be found at https://www.eurogamer.fr/.
Eurogamer.fr is the product of a partnership between Paris-based publisher Microscoop and Eurogamer Network, and brings the Eurogamer brand to France's core gamer market. Following the successful launch of Eurogamer.de in August 2006, the launch of Eurogamer.fr marks the presence of local Eurogamer websites in the three largest videogames markets in Europe.
Headed up by Eurogamer France's Editor in Chief Laurent Guerder and Deputy Editor in Chief Jérôme Bohbot, Eurogamer.fr will be included in Microscoop's existing portfolio of technology and games publications, including the hugely successful print and online titles Ere Numérique and JDLi.
"Having Microscoop as a partner in France is the best possible scenario for the launch of Eurogamer.fr," said Eurogamer Network Publisher, Patrick Garratt. "Using existing local titles as leverage, along with a huge amount of experience and talent from both the French management and editorial staff, Eurogamer.fr is sure to be a success."
"We are very proud to be associated with Eurogamer's expansion because we have always been great fans of Eurogamer.net editorial quality. Our target is for Eurogamer.fr to become one of the very best French game sites," said Eurogamer France Editor in Chief, Laurent Guerder.
