Mantic has announced that they’re once more taking over direct distribution of their products in the French market, returning it to their control from Victoria Games. If you’re a minis gamer in France, you’ll want to know about these new changes.
From the announcement:
Mantic in France!
With 2022 already underway, we are sharing our plans for the French market.
We are pleased to announce that Mantic will be taking back from Victoria games the handling of sales, distribution, and marketing of all our hobby games directly. While Victoria Games’ focus is moving to printing and manufacturing games.
We want to take this opportunity to thank Victoria Games for all the work they have put into the Mantic ranges, when we first started working together most of our games were only available in English. Now we have a good range of French products, which we intend to continue expanding upon with more translation work, however, in the future all translation, selling and dealing with our French fans will be completed by Mantic.
From February 2022 Denis Cossard will be joining us. He is passionate about Mantic’s games and will be helping us ensure that the French Kings of War community gets the love and attention that they deserve. We are really looking forward to meeting up with the French gaming community and talking directly with the players.
We will be reaching out to your local gaming stores, giving them the opportunity to buy directly from us. This will ensure they have access to the full Mantic Hobby range.
Kings of War is the first project we want to successfully launch with the community and stores. Kings of War will be launching soon. With your support we hope to continue offering new French projects such as Deadzone Third Edition, Armada and many more.
In addition to this we are going to continue to work with partners for our boardgame and licenced products. Asmodee will continue to supply the Hellboy: The Board Game, and we have some exciting plans for future projects with them in 2022.
This also is the opportunity to let you all know the full Dungeon Saga range will be taken over and available through Pixie Games. We are in the process of re-printing the core game and the expansions right now. These will be available soon!
2022 is going to be a really exciting year for us in France, we can’t wait to get started and go on this journey with you all.
And finally of course, I wish to thank you for liking our games – and I look forward to making more games for you in the years ahead – and hopefully now we are looking after the market directly – I will also get to meet you over a gaming table somewhere in France – and maybe even share a beer or glass of wine too!
