Paradox acquires Conan rights

The Swedish studio gets an option to purchase all game, movie, and book rights for the Conan franchise.

Paradox Entertainment has acquired 20 percent of Conan Sales Company, which holds all rights to the Conan franchise made famous by the Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer movies of the '80s and the Conan television series of the '90s. The deal means that Paradox will play a part in on-going licensing partnerships, including a film deal with Warner, a games license for TDK, and a book publishing agreement with TOR.
"The potential in the Conan character, stories, and fan base is huge," said Theodore Bergquist, CEO of Paradox. "We plan to increase licensing activities immediately in all media, including newly written books, comics, and computer games."

Weicht Paradox vom Pfad der Strategiespiele ab ?
Was kommt da auf uns zu ?
Ein Conan Hack & Slay ?

Paradox beteiligt sich schon seit einiger Zeit auch an der Produktion von Rollenspielen (von denen Ich anderweitig noch nie was gehört habe). Die wurden aber alle von anderen Firmen entwickelt. Ich denke, so werden sie es auch bei einem Conan Spiel tun.
