Namco Bandai To Swallow Atari Europe
May 14th, 2009
Atari Europe will officially become Namco Bandai in the next few weeks.
Japanese publisher Namco Bandai, which bought a 34 percent stake in Atari Europe last March, is expected to acquire the remaining portion of the business from parent Infogrames in the next month.
Atari Europe’s sales and marketing staff will be transferred to the newly formed Distribution Partners, which will handle all Namco Bandai games in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, reports the latest issue of trade magazine MCV.
