In a press release sent after the initial Twitter announcement, Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester says that, "Like Paradox’s games, White Wolf’s properties have dedicated, passionate communities. Gonna be great to give it some fresh blood" and confirming that the purchase "includes everything," even assets CCP created for unreleased games. Claimed Paradox's VP of Acquisition & Portfolio Strategy Shams Jorjani, saying that "We've been huge fans of the white wolf IPs for a long time especially World of Darkness/Vampire. The White Wolf acquisition sees them venture into new territory. Paradox were hitherto best known for their grand strategy PC games, including Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis, though recently found more mainstream success with unofficial SimCity heir Cities: Skylines and Obisidian's fantasy RPG Pillars of Eternity. It's Paradox's "biggest investment ever " White Wolf will, however "operate as an independent entity with a dedicated team." This also means that Paradox now owns the rights to Vampire: The Masquerade. Swedish publisher Paradox has purchased "White wolf and all properties" from EVE Online firm CCP - a final nail in the coffin of the latter's troubled plans for a World Of Darkness MMO.
There's going to be "an immediate change", and "multiple digital games titles are planned." More below.
