For more than four decades, Empire Interactive has been a part of the global video game industry, creating memorable experiences for players and building a legacy defined by creativity, innovation, and passion.
Today, we are proud to announce the beginning of a new chapter in our history — a chapter that honors our heritage while preparing Empire Interactive for the future of interactive entertainment.
As part of our long-term strategic vision, we have completed a comprehensive corporate transformation, positioning Empire Interactive as a modern interactive entertainment holding company.
Going forward, Empire Interactive will operate as the parent company overseeing our expanding portfolio of studios, publishing labels, and entertainment businesses. Our core activities will include game development, global publishing, corporate finance, legal operations, intellectual property management, strategic investments, partnerships, and business development.
SouthPeak Games and Digital Chocolate Return Under Empire Interactive
As one of the first major steps in this transformation, we have acquired the trademarks and selected intellectual property rights associated with two respected names in the gaming industry: SouthPeak Games and Digital Chocolate.
We are proud to officially bring both brands back into operation as subsidiaries of Empire Interactive.
SouthPeak Games will operate as our dedicated publishing label focused on supporting independent game developers around the world. Through SouthPeak Games, we will publish, finance, support, and help talented independent studios bring their games to a global audience by providing publishing expertise, production assistance, marketing support, distribution solutions, and long-term strategic guidance.
Digital Chocolate returns as our dedicated mobile games division, focusing on the development and publishing of innovative mobile gaming experiences. The division will play a key role in expanding Empire Interactive’s presence within the global mobile games market.
Introducing Empire Interactive Studios
We are also proud to announce the establishment of Empire Interactive Studios, our internal first-party development division.
Empire Interactive Studios will be responsible for creating original intellectual properties, developing new franchises, and producing the next generation of Empire Interactive titles.
All games developed internally by Empire Interactive Studios will be globally published under the Empire Interactive brand, creating a unified ecosystem between development, publishing, and brand management.
This new studio represents our commitment to creative excellence, technological innovation, and the creation of long-lasting entertainment franchises.
Our New Corporate Structure
With this transformation, Empire Interactive becomes the strategic parent company for our family of studios and publishing labels.
Our corporate structure will provide centralized expertise and support across:
- First-party game development
- Global publishing operations
- Third-party publishing partnerships
- Independent developer funding and support
- Mobile gaming development and publishing
- Intellectual property management
- Corporate finance and strategic investments
- Legal and licensing operations
- Business development and global partnerships
- Brand strategy and commercial operations
This structure allows each of our subsidiaries to maintain its unique identity and creative direction while benefiting from the shared resources, experience, and strategic vision of Empire Interactive.
Building the Future of Interactive Entertainment
This transformation represents more than a new corporate structure — it represents our commitment to the future.
Our goal is to build a global entertainment company that creates original worlds, develops meaningful stories, supports talented creators, and delivers exceptional experiences to players across console, PC, and mobile platforms.
In the years ahead, we will continue expanding our portfolio through original first-party productions, partnerships with independent developers, strategic investments, and the growth of our global publishing operations.
For more than 40 years, our legacy has been built on creativity, innovation, and a passion for games. As we enter this new era, we remain committed to protecting that legacy while creating the experiences, stories, and franchises that will define the future of interactive entertainment.
This is only the beginning.
