Great new deal with Danish game company

kent — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 06:30:02 +0000

During the summer, we managed to land a new deal, with one of Denmarks most promising game companies, Reto-Moto ApS.

Reto-Moto is currently working on their new title “Heroes and Generals”, a WorldWar2 multiplayer First Person Shooter game with an online persistent game-world combining first-person action with strategic control.

Netcoders will develop the handheld part of the game, where your smartphone will keep you in touch with the situation on the battlefield. Issue new orders, move troops, order airstrikes or artillery barrages while you are on the move.

Based in central Copenhagen, Reto-Moto is an entertainment software and technology company specialising in the creation of innovative online entertainment software.

Founded in 1997, Reto-Moto immediately created IO Interactive in a joint-venture operation with Nordisk Film. IO Interactive went on to create and release the multi-million selling “Hitman” and “Freedom Fighters” franchises. The former of which was licensed by 20th Century Fox for a motion picture released in November 2007.

In March 2004, IO Interactive was sold to UK Publisher Eidos Interactive in a £20 million acquisition deal to secure the ownership of the Hitman intellectual property and the development capacity offered by the studio.

The founding members of Reto-Moto have left their positions within IO Interactive and have reformed Reto-Moto. To strengthen the core group, former Executive Producer from Eidos, Neil Donnell joined the Reto-Moto team.
