"With this acquisition, we aim to strengthen 3D Realms and protect the legend that it is," said Nielsen in an interview with Børsen. "yes, we have indeed acquired Apogee/3D Realms"Īccording to Børsen, Interceptor has appointed Mike Nielsen - who has been a partner at Interceptor since October, according to his LinkedIn profile - as the new CEO of Apogee Software and 3D Realms. We've reached out to all the companies involved for more details, and will update this article with any information we receive. Schreiber told Polygon last week that the lawsuit was "an unfortunate situation," and said, "We have acted in good faith and are working towards a resolution." It's unclear at this point how Interceptor's acquisition of Apogee affects the lawsuit. Gearbox's lawsuit charges 3D Realms with trademark infringement, unfair competition, copyright infringement and breach of contract. Last month, Gearbox filed suit in federal court regarding a new Duke Nukem title called Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction.Īccording to Gearbox's complaint, Interceptor developed the game "without consulting the Duke IP's actual owner, Gearbox," which announced in September 2010 that it had acquired the Duke Nukem rights from 3D Realms. Interceptor and Apogee, the legal name of 3D Realms, are currently embroiled in a lawsuit with Gearbox Software, which is charging the two companies with "unauthorized use" of the Duke Nukem intellectual property. Reached for comment, Schreiber told Polygon that at this time he could only confirm the purchase, and added that Interceptor will release a full statement tomorrow. "Yes, we have indeed acquired Apogee/3D Realms," said Schreiber, confirming a report from the Danish newspaper Børsen.
Rise of the Triad developer Interceptor Entertainment has acquired Duke Nukem creators Apogee Software, Ltd., and 3D Realms, announced Interceptor CEO Frederik Schreiber on Twitter today.
