Megaton Imminent: New Publisher Coming to GOG

[JRcade19]

A month ago Gamespot posted an interview with Guillaume Rambourg, it was both revealed that GOG was establishing a base of operations in North America and that they were getting to sign a publisher a new huge publisher.

I also saw that you're going to make a bigger push into North America. What is this going to entail? And at what point in this expansion are you at right now?In Europe, it's quite simple right now. This is where we are based, and we can easily travel to any indie developer in Europe to talk about their games, how we can bring them to GOG. So we have a really good connection with European publishers and developers. The thing is, in North America, while we obviously go there for E3 and GDC, but that's like two or three times per year. And we have to be there to be closer to existing and potential new partners. We want to talk to them, make sure they understand the way we work; we want them to join the DRM-free movement and give us the opportunity to sign their games. So this is the main purpose of the office. The office is being established right now. It has been incorporated, and now we have to start recruiting the first settlers, if I may say, and start a GOG colony in North America.
That's going to be based in California?
Yes, it's going to based in LA; Venice, to be precise.
And what is your target date for starting that up?
This autumn.

Lastly, we've already talked about the first six years of GOG, but where do you think GOG might go in the next six years?
Whoa. That's a vast question. I can tell you about the next 12 months, but I cannot tell you about the next six years because digital is moving forward so fast, so quickly, that it's even hard for us to follow sometimes. But in the near future, so first of all GOG Galaxy; in the near future there's going to be the optional client which we are finalizing right now. There will be a couple modern games coming to GOG such as Wasteland 2, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which is developed by our Polish friends The Astronauts; there's gonna be Pillars of Eternity, and a few more GOG Galaxy games. There is one last thing coming up hopefully before the end of the year. This is at the top of my to-do list right now. I have a pretty substantial deal in my inbox right now, which I need to finalize. It's going to be a deal for classic games on GOG with a major publisher, and that publisher has many games which are at the very top or in the middle of GOG's wish list. So if we sign that one, we will fulfill many wishes in the coming months.
I'm guessing you're not going to give any teases about who that might be…
I cannot tell you who that's gonna be, but I can tell you something else. We have more or less three major publishers missing when it comes to classic games. There is Microsoft, there is Disney, and finally, there is Take-Two. It's one of these [laughs].

Well the countdown has begun on their splash page.

Ohhhh, I would probably want it to be Take 2 more than MS or Disney. Mafia 1 on GOG!? YES PLEASE.
Not to mention the old Xcom games and the like.

Evidence is strongly suggesting that its LucasArts. People have already uncovered graphics from the count down that suggest Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Monkey Island.


If this really is the case, Disney has been surprisingly...good about the license. The fact that Grim Fandango HD is actually a thing is already surprising.


That said, I still await the day that Sam and Max Hit the Road is given another chance through digital distribution.
