1C Company partners itself with Atari - Image 1Developer and publisher Atari today announced its planned long-term relationship with 1C Company. The latter is one of the leading publisher and distributor of computer games in Russia, Eastern and Central Europe. This partnership gives Atari exclusive first rights to distribute as well as co-publish upcoming 1C titles throughout North America including online distribution.

The deal involves every single console (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii), handheld consoles (DS, PlayStation Portable), Games for Windows platform, online formats, and even mobiles. The first ever video game that will be brought to the U.S. because of this deal is expected some time this year.

Robert Stevenson, VP Business Development and Third Party at Atari, explained that this move will prove to be beneficial to their company because the Russian and Eastern European markets are teeming with innovative and engaging video game titles. Stevenson added:

1C has demonstrated the special ability to source, develop and nurture these products. Leveraging our strength in software distribution and our relationship with 1C, we believe that we will offer our retail partners a wider-array of products that appeal to the broad tastes of gamers in North America.


Some of IC Company's upcoming and current projects include Theater of War, Sniper, Pacific Fighters, IL-2 Sturmovik, IL-2 Sturmovik: The Forgotten Battles, and Konung.
