Trion Worlds Acquires Gazillion Entertainment Assets
According to a report from VentureBeat, Trion Worlds has acquired all the assets of Gazillion Entertainment, a game development company that closed in November 2017 after losing its Disney license and shutting down Marvel Heroes Omega.
Trion Worlds CEO Scot Hartsman told VentureBeat reporter Dean Takahashi that the purchase includes all of Gazillion Entertainment's licenses, trademarks, patents, domains, and games. This includes a Gazillion Entertainment engine that makes it easier to develop isometric games.
Hartman also said the acquisition should allow Trion Worlds to provide better support to developers through Trion Worlds' publishing and partnership endeavors.
Trion Worlds previously developed and published MMOs such as Defiance and Rift.
