Kabam has become a publisher, now officially

The authors of Kingdoms of Camelot, The Hobbit: Armies of the Third Age and Arcene Empire have announced the creation of a publishing division – Kabam Publishing.

It will work with third-party developers and release their games on the same technology platform and with the same marketing tools as Kabam’s internal studios.

Kevin Chou, Executive Director of Kabam, rejoices

The team took the matter very seriously. Contracts for the publication of more than 15 third-party projects have already been signed.  Among them: Wartune from the Chinese studio Reality Square Games, Clash of the Dragons from the Californian 5 Planet Games and Book of Heroes produced by Venan Games from Connecticut.

A small remark: Kabam has already published games of independent teams, but with the emergence of a new division, business will be conducted on a different scale. By the end of 2013, Kabam management plans to release about 50 third-party projects.
