Forged In Shadow Torch, Forever Entertainment for House of the Dead and Front Mission 1st, and Oddworld Inhabitants for Oddworld Soulstorm. According to Microids CEO Stéphane Longeard, "The creation of our Third-Party Publishing division allows us to leverage our expertise for new partners while fortifying relationships with long-standing collaborators." He added, "These partnerships showcase our capability to work with major industry players, offering diverse and high-quality gaming experiences to our audience. We're excited to bring The Precinct to a global audience and continue enriching our catalog with iconic titles."
