Steamforged Games has announced they are acquiring the Iron Kingdoms IP from Privateer Press, which includes the beloved miniatures game Warmachine and the Iron Kingdoms roleplaying game line. The acquisition will also include the Formula P3 painting and hobby brand. According to a press release announcing the move, Steamforged and Privateer Press will"work together on design and development" of both Iron Kingdoms and Warmachine moving forward.
The announcement continues a trend of acquisitions by Steamforged Games, a UK-based tabletop publisher. Steamforged has bought Rivet Wars, Street Masters, and Euthia in recent years, and has also relaunched its own Guild Ball franchise as a print-on-demand title.
