Kalypso Media has increased its stake in Realmforge Studios to 100%

Kalypso Media has announced the completion of the takeover process of Realmforge Studios. Now the publisher Tropico owns 100% of the shares of the German developer, known for the Dungeons series of strategy games.As part of the deal, Kalypso Media not only increased its share from the original 60%, but also expanded the staff of Realmforge, as well as moved the team to a new office in Munich.

“We have been lucky to have such a strong and reliable partner as Kalypso for more than 10 years. At the same time, we realize that having such an important franchise as Tropico on our hands is a big responsibility,” said Benjamin Rauscher, head of Realmforge.

Realmforge Studios was founded in 2008 as part of a deal between Boxed Dreams and Kalypso. As a result, Kalypso received a controlling stake, and Boxed Dreams employees became part of the new team.

“The expansion and full takeover of Realmforge shares is a logical consequence of our strategy to expand our own development resources not only in Germany, but also on the international market,” Kalypso CEO Simon Hellwig comments on the deal.
