3D Realms acquired by Rise of the Triad developer

[Dohc-WP]

Interceptor Entertainment, developer of the 2013 Rise of the Triad reboot, has acquired Apogee Software, who in turn owns the 3D Realms brand and formerly owned the Duke Nukem IP. The news was first reported by Danish newspaper Borsen, and confirmed on Twitter by Interceptor CEO Frederik Schreiber.

Apogee/3D Realms recently became embroiled in a legal battle with Gearbox Software, the current owners of Duke. It's not clear how the acquisition will impact the ongoing legal battle, but Schreiber noted that Interceptor will have an official statement tomorrow.

I was quite shocked to read about this earlier. Another once great game developer/publisher slowly withering away to nothing.

They brought it on themselves, though.

No arguments there.
