Microids Starts Its "Third Party Publishing" Division

Microids, which will be releasing a number of games this year, has announced the creation of a "Third-Party Publishing" division. The French publisher has also signed an international partnership with Kwalee for the game The Precinct.

Microids has launched its "Third-Party Publishing" division. The French company, which has been active in the video games industry for almost 40 years, will offer its publishing services to selected partners worldwide. "We are delighted to announce the creation of our "Third-Party Publishing" division, which will allow us to extend our expertise to new partners while strengthening relationships with our long-standing collaborators," says Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids.
