Atari Acquires RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Publishing Rights In Multi-Million Dollar Deal
Atari SA (OTC:PONGF) has acquired the publishing rights for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 from Frontier Developments PLC (OTC:FRRDF) for $7 million.
雅達利公司（場外交易代碼：PONGF）已以700萬美元的價格從Frontier Developments PLC（場外交易代碼：FRRDF）手中收購了《過山車大亨3》的出版權。
According to IGN, this acquisition includes various RollerCoaster Tycoon games, spanning from RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic to RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch. The move is part of Atari's strategy to expand distribution and explore merchandising opportunities to elevate the franchise.
根據IGN的說法，此次收購包括各種過山車大亨遊戲，從過山車大亨經典版到過山車大亨Touch。此舉是雅達利擴大分銷和探索銷售機會以提升特許經營權的戰略的一部分。
Frontier Developments, known for games like Elite: Dangerous and Zoo Tycoon, faced financial challenges, prompting the sale.
以《精英：危險》和《動物園大亨》等遊戲而聞名的Frontier Developments面臨財務挑戰，促使了銷售。
The transaction, consisting of $4 million upfront and a $3 million deferred payment, bolsters Frontier's cash reserves. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 alone has been generating $1.5 million in annual profits since Frontier acquired the rights in 2018.
該交易包括400萬美元的預付款和300萬美元的延期付款，增加了Frontier的現金儲備。自2018年Frontier獲得版權以來，僅過山車大亨3就創造了150萬美元的年利潤。
Despite recent struggles, Frontier remains optimistic, citing strong sales from titles like Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Planet Zoo. They plan to release three creative management simulation (CMS) games over the next three financial years while supporting existing titles such as Elite Dangerous and F1 Manager.
儘管最近陷入困境，但Frontier仍然持樂觀態度，理由是《侏羅紀世界：進化2》和《Planet Zoo》等遊戲的銷量強勁。他們計劃在未來三個財政年度內發佈三款創意管理模擬（CMS）遊戲，同時支持《危險精英》和《F1 Manager》等現有遊戲。
"The proceeds of the disposal will be utilized by the Company for general working capital purposes," Frontier said, as per IGN.
據IGN報道，Frontier表示：“出售所得將由公司用於一般營運資金用途。”
Meanwhile, Wade Rosen, Atari's Chairman and CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for the acquisition. "As we mark the 25th anniversary of Rollercoaster Tycoon with Chris Sawyer," Rosen said. "I'm thrilled that we're bringing this pivotal title together with the rest of the franchise."
同時，雅達利董事長兼首席執行官韋德·羅森表達了對收購的熱情。羅森說：“在我們與克里斯·索耶一起紀念《過山車大亨》問世25週年之際。”“我很高興我們能將這個關鍵遊戲與其他系列融爲一體。”
"This move opens up new opportunities for Atari as we build upon Frontier's legacy and cater to the devoted fanbase of Rollercoaster Tycoon games," the CEO added.
首席執行官補充說：“此舉爲雅達利開闢了新的機遇，因爲我們在Frontier的傳統基礎上再接再厲，迎合了過山車大亨遊戲的忠實粉絲群。”
