KingsIsle Entertainment and Gameforge Partner to Bring Wizard101 to Europe
KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. announced a licensing agreement with German online games publisher Gameforge to bring its award-winning massively multiplayer game Wizard101 to Europe.

"This partnership is an important first step in our strategy to expand beyond the domestic US market and bring Wizard101 to an international audience," said Elie Akilian, chairman and CEO of KingsIsle Entertainment. "It's a very exciting time at KingsIsle and we are eager to share the magical world of Wizard101 with an entirely new community of players."

"Wizard101 has proven to be a high-quality MMO that appeals to a large audience of all ages. We are very excited to partner with KingsIsle in bringing this great game to the European market and expand its audience globally," said Carsten van Husen, CEO of Gameforge 4D.

Earlier this summer, KingsIsle announced that more than 10-million Wizards have registered to play Wizard101 since the game launched in September 2008. KingsIsle is currently working closely with Gameforge to localize Wizard101 for the European market. The first European launch is planned for late 2010.
