KOCH Media Announces Co-Publishing Agreement With JoWood.

KOCH Media GmbH hereby announces that a further co-publishing deal has been signed with JoWooD Productions Software AG for the multi-platform title "Panzer Elite Action", in addition to the contracts already signed for the games "Gothic 3", "SpellForce 2" and "The Guild 2". As before, KOCH Media has been acknowledged the exclusive licensing and distribution rights for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and Italy. All titles will therefore be published under both the Deep Silver and the JoWooD label.

"We are happy to be able to continue our successful co-publishing work with JoWooD. With its impressive graphics and the gripping gameplay, Panzer Elite Action will complement the already powerful line-up of Deep Silver titles," says Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of KOCH Media.

"We are particularly proud to be able to continue the highly successful Panzer Elite brand with this exciting action spin-off in cooperation with KOCH Media. This deal will enable JoWooD to ideally market the multi-platform title in important European markets as well as strengthening the company's cooperation with KOCH Media," states Dr. Albert Seidl, Chairman of the Board of JoWooD Productions Software AG.
