Starbreeze today has announced that they have signed licensing agreement with PopReach Corporation to re-launch PAYDAY Crime War. Based on the terms of the agreement, Starbreeze will receive a non-recoupable upfront payment of USD 250 thousand. PopReach is going to receive the entire source code to the PAYDAY Crime War and access to PAYDAY 2 content and cover all the costs going further into the development, marketing, live operations, and user acquisition concerning the game. Once launched, Starbreeze will get tiered royalties on net sales equivalent to its PC and console licensing deals, and Starbreeze will retain all the IP rights for the game.
PAYDAY Crime War Can Finally Relaunch on the Mobile Platforms
This is what Tobias Sjögren, CEO of Starbreeze, had to say about this deal.
For those who do not know, PopReach is a free-to-play game publisher that is focused on acquiring as well as optimizing franchises that have already proven themselves in the market. They have worked on 25 mobile games across 13 successful franchises across the world.
As far as PAYDAY is concerned, this is what Jon Walsh, CEO of PopReach, had to say.
In conjunction with the licensing agreement, Starbreeze has sent a team of five to Barcelona so they can start work on PAYDAY 3.
