Bethesda's Spreading Across The Globe
Bethesda Softworks is expanding its worldwide presence and opening new offices in Germany and Paris. The Maryland-based publisher/developer already has offices in London and Tokyo.
The new locations will be responsible for handling the marketing and sales in their respective areas. Frank Matzke heads the Frankfurt, Germany office, and Matzke previously worked as a European vice president for Sierra and marketing director for Vivendi. The Paris branch, meanwhile, will be lead by Julie Chalmette – a general manager for Vivendi Games France. It's good they're now on the same team, as Germany and France historically aren't the best of friends.
Expanding its reach will be good for Bethesda with titles like the id Software-developed Rage, Fallout: New Vegas (shown), and Brink due to come out in the future. "Frank and Julie's extensive knowledge of their territories will help us to maximize and deliver upon these titles' potential," said Sean Brennan, managing director of Bethesda Softworks Europe.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
