It's unusual that a game can dive into several genres simultaneously and hope to emerge with something coherent, but Triumph Studios have lived up to their namesake here. There's also an impressive effort to bring some authentic RPG depth to proceedings too, with a lore-heavy campaign with surprisingly high-quality narration, a-top mini boss battle events and light dungeoneering. It's as simple as that, and we are extremely excited about the acquisition.Age of Wonders 4 is an ambitious fusion of several genres, incorporating XCOM-style turn-based strategic battles, with Civ-like empire management. Paradox is a good match for us both culturally and games-wise. This is a liaison with a partner that can help us grow sustainably by ensuring the stability and continuity needed for us to do more of what we do best - develop some of the best turn-based strategy games on the market today. Lennart Sas, CEO of Triumph, added: "We have been approached by others before with an interest to acquire us, but this is not merely a business transaction for us. We have great faith in Lennart, Arno and the Triumph team, and our main focus now is to ensure that they can continue to create their magic under new ownership," "They are world-leading within their niche and have built a large and dedicated community over the years, counting quite a few Paradox employees among their hardcore fans. "Triumph Studios is a developer of our own heart," said Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester. All on-going projects will remain in development and published by Paradox. The current team and management will remain at the Netherlands-based firm, including Lennart Sas and Arno van Wingerden who founded the company in 1997.
