Codename: Panzers puts emphasis on managing groups of troops, tanks, AVs, and artillery trying to defeat the enemy or capture objectives. The game belongs to the real-time tactics genre more than the traditional wargame/simulation genre. Codename: Panzers was intended to be a three-part series portrayal of various conflicts of the Second World War.

Nordic Games has closed an asset purchase agreement with Neocoregames Ltd. to acquire the remaining intellectual property “Codename Panzers”, including the two iterations “Codename: Panzers – Phase I” and “Codename: Panzers – Phase II”. The deal with Neocoregames was closed approx. 18 months after Nordic has acquired the rights to the third iteration of the franchise (“Codename: Panzers – Cold War”) from MAKE Projects UG, Germany.

The acquisition itself is being handled by Nordic Games Licensing AB, based in Karlstad, Sweden, whereas the day-to-day business (sales and distribution, evaluation of sequels & new content etc.) will be conducted by Nordic Games GmbH, based in Vienna, Austria.

“The constant expansion and diversification of our portfolio always has been a top priority for our long-term strategy”, comments Reinhard Pollice, Business & Product Development Director at Nordic Games. “Having a broad portfolio of IPs guarantees us a comfortable revenue stream, which in turn supports our true cause and our passion: make great games. The Codename Panzers series is known for delivering extraordinaire strategic gameplay with tactical depth and therefore was a perfect fit for our game portfolio.”
