Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive Split: A Surprising Collaboration Comes to an End

In a surprising turn of events, Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes have announced their decision to part ways starting from January 1, 2024. This amicable separation comes as a result of both parties’ strategic and creative priorities diverging. Paradox will retain ownership of The Lamplighters League and other games developed by Harebrained Schemes, while the latter will embark on a quest to find new publishing, partnership, and investment opportunities.

Charlotta Nilsson, the COO of Paradox, shed some light on the reasoning behind this separation, stating that Paradox has refocused its strategy towards its core niches within strategy and management games that possess endless qualities. While discussions were held with Harebrained Schemes’ leadership regarding the future after the release of The Lamplighters League, it became clear that pursuing another project or sequel in the same genre did not align with Paradox’s portfolio plans. Hence, a separation was deemed the best way forward. Nilsson expressed excitement for Harebrained Schemes’ future endeavors and eagerly anticipates what they will create next.

Brian Poel, Studio Operations Manager of Harebrained Schemes, assured fans that the studio’s mission remains unchanged: to develop games that challenge the mind and touch the heart. As they bid farewell to their partnership with Paradox, Harebrained Schemes will continue to support The Lamplighters League until the end of the year. Simultaneously, they will actively seek funding and partnerships to pave the way for an independent future in 2024.
