3D Realms acquired by investment firm

Danish investment firm, SDN Invest, has acquired Apogee Software, Ltd d/b/a 3D Realms.

SDN Invest is also a current part-owner and principal investor in Denmark-based game studio and Rise of the Triad developer, Interceptor Entertainment. Effective immediately, the new CEO of 3D Realms will be Mike Nielsen. Mr. Nielsen also serves as Chairman of the Board at Interceptor.

"3D Realms has also developed, co-developed, and co-financed such hits as Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad, Raptor, Shadow Warrior and Prey. Yet even with this stellar track record, we hope we can take the company to new heights," remarked Nielsen, the newly appointed CEO.

Scott Miller, co-founder of 3D Realms also added, “My long time partner George Broussard and I are extremely proud of our past, especially as developers who always tried to partner with up-and-coming studios who just needed their break. Our history shows we did that throughout the 1990s & 2000s, and I expect the new 3D Realms to continue with this tradition in full force."

No word yet on what this acquisition will mean for the long term prospects of the studio or its IPs.
