French company Shiro Games celebrates its 10th anniversary, along with Northgard’s 3 million players milestone. The company released a thank you video, thanking all its players for playing Northgard.
Nicolas Cannasse, CEO of Shiro Games commented,
“We founded Shiro Games with the goal of creating the video games we would like to play, and we have followed that path since the beginning. During a decade, we have created our own franchises from the ground up including Evoland, Northgard, and Wartales, and worked with renowned partners in the industry on projects such as Dune: Spice Wars. We’re already working on two new games, our talented teams are growing, and we are ready to keep this creative mission alive in the years to come”.
