Company

For years, TopWare Interactive has developed successful brands, built international presence, and published award winning blockbusters of all genres; manifesting itself as a proverbial “breath of fresh air” in the video game industry. Evidence of this fact can be seen in the successful IPs generated by in-house development studio Reality Pump and other top licenses acquired from external developers. Games such as “Earth 2160” and “Two worlds II” are just two of the award winning box office hits to emerge from this unique and innovative studio.

Being a privately held and financed company and operating without any impeding foreign control, TopWare Interactive is able to make quick decisions and adjustments to adapt to a constantly evolving global marketplace. Currently, the company is the only worldwide, independent Game Publisher with its own in-house development resources, with more than 25 years of entertainment industry experience. Over the years, that experience has given the video game community such innovative milestones as the first CD-ROM (1992), the first DVD-ROM (1997), and the first PC BDROM (2008) containing gaming content.

Beside this, TopWare Interactive is the first German based company appointed as a licensed Publisher by Microsoft, Apple, Nintendo and Sony for their, respective, next gen platforms. This provides for a solid future product portfolio on multiple platforms and distribution channels. Presently, TopWare develops for and publishes on PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS/3DS, i-Phone and i-Pad and Android platforms. In fact, in the PC sector, TopWare retains a close partnership with Intel, AMD and nVidia, striving to propel innovation and remain on the cutting-edge of state-of-the-art technology.

In 2011 TopWare scores with the release of the Add-On “Two Worlds II: Pirates of the Flying Fortress” which adds over 15 hours of entertainment to the RPG-Topseller “Two Worlds II”. With its own logistic-center in Ettlingen TopWare has build the base for a successful distribution around the world. The Sistercompany TopWare Entertainment handles the whole sales-sector for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With this step TopWare is able to hold all the key-points in house and controls the complete product development, marketing and shipping. For the upcoming year TopWare Interactive plans to expand further on the games-market and prepares to release two great titles “Scivelation” and “Raven´s Cry”.

At the moment there are about 45 people employed alone in Karlsruhe. Together with the affiliated companies Reality Pump and TopWare Interactive Inc. the staff counts more than 150 persons. Another 350 people are working in the development-studios around the world, designing the up-coming games.
