Iron Realm Acquires Raymond E. Feist Rights


Iron Realms Entertainment , an award-winning California-based developer
of massively multiplayer games (MMORPGs) have announced that it has
acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to produce online games based
on best-selling author Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar series of books.

"The universe Raymond writes about is incredibly epic, diverse, and
detailed. I've been a fan of his books for well over fifteen years and
am very excited that we're going to get to develop games based in the
world of Midkemia," said Matt Mihaly, Iron Realms's CEO and Creative
Director.

"There are millions of Feist fans out there and there's not been a game
based on his work since 1998," said Martin Best, VP of Production for
Iron Realms. "Our plans for the license aren't finalized yet but you
will definitely be seeing at least one game based on the property."

Mr. Feist has sold over 20 million books and is one of the best selling
fantasy authors in history. He's written more than fifteen books taking
place in the same setting including "Magician", "A Darkness at
Sethanon", and his latest book, "Talon of the Silver Hawk." His
roleplaying game "Betrayal at Krondor" (Sierra, 1993) is considered one
of the finest RPGs ever, having won multiple Game of the Year awards as
well as induction into Computer Gaming World's Hall of Fame. A
highly-regarded sequel - "Return to Krondor" - was also published by
Sierra, in 1998.
