Big news today!
First things first - I want to address the lack of communication over the past few months. The team has been knee deep into development and I'm happy to announce that we're entering the final stretch!
Today, we have some very good news.
We're happy to announce that we've partnered with 1C Publishing.
In addition to the PC version, we're also happy to announce that Ion Maiden is going multi-platform! Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch!
1C will co-publish Ion Maiden and bring a physical console copy of the game to retail worldwide.
We're getting very close and we have a lot of crazy cool things up our sleeves which we can't wait to share with you guys. (Pssssst.. PAX South!) We also have a final release window, which has been moved ahead a few months, to Q2, 2019
1C Entertainment is responsible for the popular RTS series Men of War, the fantasy tactical role-playing games King’s Bounty, and World War II flight simulator series IL-2 Sturmovik. Collaborating with 3D Realms promises to bring both teams’ creative powers together and deliver the high-quality content gamers know both companies for.
"Presenting games like Ion Maiden to all of 3D Realms' fans is our number one priority,"
said Mike Nielsen, CEO of 3D Realms.
"Partnering with 1C Entertainment means we can make our dedicated community happier by bringing Shelly to consoles."
"I was always a fan of the old-school classic FPS titles Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Max Payne and Shadow Warrior, so I am super thrilled to partner with a legendary studio such as 3D Realms,"
said Nikolay Baryshnikov, CEO of 1C Entertainment.
"As a global publisher, our goal is to bring top-quality titles to all the gamers around the world, and our cooperation with 3D Realms is a great addition to our portfolio. For me personally, it’s a kid’s dream come true."
