Based in Bristol, Majesco Europe will oversee the marketing, distribution and sales of a product catalogue bristling with mainstream titles on handheld and home console formats, with its first games due to launch in May 2009.

Jason Dutton, Managing Director, Majesco Europe, comments, “Establishing a full publishing and sales presence in the UK is extremely important strategically to Majesco. With a past history of success in the UK and Europe via third parties, we are now in the position to move forward with a full self-publishing and sales operation and build as solid a foundation in the UK as Majesco has built in the US.” Dutton continues: “With the strong product catalogue we have in place, along with some talented new personnel, we are in line to make a real mark on the UK publishing landscape in 2009. We’ll be announcing our new recruits and release schedule for Q3 very shortly.”

Majesco Europe’s upcoming line-up includes:
