This acquisition brings the total number of studios owned and operated by Paradox Interactive to nine, with locations in six countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finland-based (Tampere) Iceflake Studios was founded in 2007 and has developed games for PCs, consoles and for all current VR and mobile platforms. The studio is currently developing Surviving the Aftermath<\/em> with Paradox, a survival management-strategy game now available in early access on PC and Xbox. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When we started our discussion with Paradox, we knew that we had a very like-minded approach. Our collaboration with Surviving the Aftermath<\/em> has been excellent and showed how similar our approach to development is. So when Paradox suggested that we could become part of the family, we were thrilled.<\/p> Lasse Liljedahl, Co-Founder and Studio Manager at Iceflake <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Iceflake Studios joins the rapidly growing family of studios at Paradox Interactive, which also includes Paradox Development Studio in Stockholm; Paradox Arctic in Ume\u00e5, Sweden; the Paradox development team in Malm\u00f6, Sweden; Paradox Tectonic in Berkeley, California; Triumph Studios in Delft, The Netherlands; Harebrained Schemes in Seattle; Paradox Tinto in Barcelona, and Playrion Game Studio in Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The collaborative efforts we\u2019ve shared thus far with Iceflake have given us all the confidence that this is a natural fit. Surviving the Aftermath<\/em> fits the Paradox portfolio perfectly, and Iceflake has shown themselves to be the kind of partner who can help us create more titles in our core genres. Turning this relationship into a long-term partnership is an easy decision, and we\u2019re eager to share more great games with our audience in the years to come. <\/p> Charlotta Nilsson, COO at Paradox Interactive <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Paradox Interactive is one of the leading global publishers of strategy games for PC and console.
