Asmodee acquires Zombicide
Asmodee has acquired the Zombicide IP.
The Zombicide board game series has sold over two million copies globally to date, and will be operated under the Guillotine Games label as part of Asmodee’s lifestyle vertical.
The acquisition is Asmodee’s first since its listing on Nasdaq Stockholm and has been cited as ‘a key step in reigniting its value-accretive M&A strategy’.
“We are proud the iconic Zombicide IP further strengthens our tabletop games portfolio and allows us to reinforce our presence in key geographies,” said Thomas Kœgler, CEO of Asmodee.
“I can’t wait for the team to get to work at what’s coming next for this fantastic IP.”
