Expanding on the deal signed in 2011, the new deal will see Namco Bandai Partners distribute Codemasters titles in every key territory of continental Europe, including France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and the entire Benelux and Nordic regions, plus Australia and New Zealand. The agreement encompasses major forthcoming games from Codemasters including DiRT Showdown and other as yet unannounced titles.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our distribution of Codemasters titles to cover every major territory in continental Europe following the addition of Germany,” said Alberto González Lorca, VP Third Parties, Namco Bandai Partners.  “We began our European relationship with Codemasters in 2011, and I’m very pleased to say that our hard work in maximising the potential of their titles has paid off, with the result that together we can look forward to even greater success in 2012.”
