Ankama and New Tales have signed a long-term partnership for the global publication of Ankama’s next game, “WAVEN.” The partnership follows several months of successful collaboration between the two teams. “WAVEN” is an ambitious new project by Ankama, a multiplayer free-to-play tactical RPG for Windows PC, Mac, smartphones, and tablet devices.
About “WAVEN”
The third major installment in the tale Ankama has been narrating for more than 15 years, “WAVEN” is a turn-based tactical roleplaying game. In it, players discover the World of Twelve after it has been almost completely submerged in a mysterious disaster. Only the roofs of the tallest buildings and highest mountain tops are accessible, and the survivors sail the high seas in their ships in search of the resources they need to survive and thrive.
Ankama’s colorful and expressive graphic touch and its beloved, distinctive epic-burlesque style invite players on a great adventure full of exploration, strategic combat against iconic monsters from the Krosmoz universe, and confrontations between players either live or in asynchronous arenas, all against a backdrop of both funny and endearing stories. “WAVEN” will be a free-to-play cross-platform game available on Windows PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices.
Ankama x New Tales
In this partnership, New Tales will provide its cutting-edge expertise as a game operator servicing international communities to help Ankama bring “WAVEN” to as many players as possible globally. Slated for release before the end of 2023, “WAVEN” is the Ankama studio’s newest ambitious project set in the Krosmoz universe, a saga that began 20 years ago with the release of DOFUS.
”WAVEN is an ambitious project, one that we are very proud of! We believe that it has real potential to conquer the international market and so we decided to be accompanied by a team of experts to give ourselves every possible chance at success. The New Tales team appealed to us because the team is made up of recognized industry experts with whom communication is simple and enjoyable.”
Anthony ‘Tot’ Roux, CEO of Ankama
”We are delighted and eager to bring “WAVEN” to players around the world. Not only were we instantly impressed by the quality of the game and its potential, but we also met a talented, passionate, and caring team that is a joy to work with.”
Cédric Maréchal, President & CEO of New Tales
New Tales and Ankama had signed a first strategic partnership six months ago to begin preparing for the launch of “WAVEN”. This productive collaboration has now evolved into a global co-publishing agreement with the aim of ensuring that as many people as possible can enjoy the game.
