Expansion rights go to startup Mamba Games


The news that Microsoft dissolved the ACES Studio responsible for Microsoft’s Flight Simulator product really caught everyone by surprise; but even though we know at least from Microsoft the title is as dead as dead can be, Mamba Games has announced that they have secured the global rights to six Microsoft Flight Simulator X add-on packs that will be released over a two-year period.

Mamba Games is a start-up company that is being headed by former THQ executive, Robert Nielson, and the company made the announcement about securing the rights to the six add-on packs for Flight Simulator X. The first add-on that will be released is the Grumman F6F Hellcat, which was developed by ReadFlight and is scheduled for release on March 27th.

Mamba didn’t even let the news of bringing out the Flight Simulator X add-ons sink in before the company also announced that it has The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure on tap for the PC that should start shipping on the 27th of March, as well. The Lost Crown is created by independent adventure game creator Jonathan Boakes of Dark Fall fame.

The company is also planning the release of the PC title Pyroblazer, which is a combat racing game that comes from Serbian developer Eipix that will be released in Germany, Australia, and Switzerland on March 27th, as well. The company also has Matchman from TF-H Co Ltd on track for the Nintendo DS, with a release planned in the second quarter of this year, as well as a Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 version that are expected to be launched later in the year.
