Quirky publisher D3Publisher of America has acquired developer Vicious Cycle Software. Japan's D3 is best know for games like Onechanbara and Earth Defense Force. Two years earlier the company set up an American division, and with this announcement, it looks to strengthen its position there. The North Carolina-based Vicious Cycle will become a D3 subsidiary. Vicious Cycle is responsible for the PSP version of Puzzle Quest as well as upcoming PSP exclusive Dead Head Fred. Said Eric Peterson, president, Vicious Cycle Software
Having worked with D3PA for the past few years, we know the company shares our passion for creative excellence and our commitment to quality... We're thrilled to become a part of D3PA and we look forward to contributing our creative talents to D3PA's portfolio of innovative games.
At the very least, this should be interesting.
