HISTORY Channel TV and Destructive Creations, a Polish game developer and publisher, have established a cooperation that can bring about many interesting cross-promotional projects for both brands in the future. The Polish independent development studio, which introduces world-class games inspired by history, is an excellent cross-promotion partner for a thematic television channel with an established global brand that showcases history in an unconventional way. We believe that together we can accomplish a lot.
On the official Polish website of HISTORY Channel there are references to two games created by the studio based in Gliwice. One of them is Ancestors Legacy, which became a hit on PC and consoles. Players take command of an army and set off to conquer medieval Europe in a series of campaigns. You can choose one of the four available factions - Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Germans or Slavs - and lead them to a spectacular victory that requires more than just conquering and pillaging enemy camps, villages and cities. The key to victory lies in the use of a wide range of tactical options and terrain advantage, as well as judicious management of camps and settlements.
The second game promoted by the HISTORY Channel is War Mongrels which takes place on the eastern front of World War II. The dark, fascinating plot, full of dynamic, tactical challenges with elements of stealth, is sure to captivate fans of good entertainment and 20th century history.
“HISTORY Channel's programming offer has been combining knowledge with entertainment for years, so in the face of fusion of new media and forms of digital entertainment, it is a natural step for our brand to cooperate with the creators of computer games focused on history from the Destructive Creations studio. We believe that together we will be able to reach a wide audience, both gamers who appreciate narratives about history, and our viewers - also interested in other types of entertainment." Comments Tomasz Teodorczyk, Director of Content and Brands, A+E Networks Poland and CEE.
“As a developer of history-inspired games, we're delighted to partner up with the History Channel. It will pave the way for history enthusiasts to discover more about interesting events of the past through an interactive and enjoyable medium represented by great games such as War Mongrels and Ancestors Legacy.” comments Marcin Stanek, Business Development Manager at Destructive Creations.
Destructive Creations will be celebrating another success in the coming weeks with the release of War Mongrels on consoles and in the Apple environment. On April 13-17, Steam users will be able to play War Mongrels during the Free Weekend!
HISTORY Channel and Destructive Creations share similar values - both brands showcase history in a non-standard way, incorporating reliable historical knowledge into high-class entertainment, presenting fascinating characters and reflecting the atmosphere of past centuries. We look forward to a fruitful cooperation.
