Board game giant Asmodee has launched a new distribution business aimed at supplying "new, niche and hard-to-get" English-language titles to European retailers.
Tomb Raider and Borderlands developer Embracer Group is planning a slew of video games based on Asmodee's board game range, as the company tries to leverage its intellectual property amid plans to slash its $1.45bn of debt.
Asmodee parent company Embracer Group is letting go some of its 17,000 staff as part of a restructuring program aimed at slashing its $1.45bn of debt.
Tabletop gaming giant Asmodee saw its board game sales decline slightly in Q4 due to a "more hesitant market environment", figures from the company's first full-year results since its €2.75bn buyout by Embracer group show.
One of last year's biggest board game hits, motor racing game Heat: Pedal to the Metal, should finally be back in stock in the US by the end of May after surprising its publisher with the speed it sold out.
