Focus Entertainment announced it has acquired the parent company of Dovetail Games, Railsimulator.com.
The UK-based developer and publisher is known for creating train simulation games and fishing simulation games. This includes Train Sim World 3, Train Simulator Classic, Bassmaster Fishing 2022, The Catch: Carp & Coarse, and Fishing Sim World: Pro Tour.
“We are extremely pleased to welcome the talented and passionate teams from Dovetail Games into the Focus Group,” said Focus Entertainment CEO Sean Brennan. “The studio and its IPs are a very good fit for us and a worthy complement to the Focus lineup and strategy, with unique, compelling and definitive sim games celebrated by players all around the world.”
Dovetail Games CEO Jon Rissik added, “From our first meeting with Sean and the talented team at Focus it was clear that we share much in common, most notably a deep-rooted passion for simulation gaming, a commitment to deliver engaging and rewarding experiences for our customers and an underlying set of values that both empower our people and support their career journey.
“As a business we are ambitious and we believe that Focus’ publishing and distribution power will amplify our own talents as a digital publisher, allowing us to grow in key markets such as North America with access to a wider network of resources and new monetization opportunities. I am extremely proud of the company and strong brands that we have built over the past 14 years and look forward to joining Focus Entertainment’s confederation of entrepreneurs.”
