Renegade Game Studios says it is in talks to become the new home of some classic Hasbro games.
Renegade announced negotiations are ongoing to expand their licensing relationship with Hasbro, a global branded entertainment company, to include best-selling games Axis & Allies, Diplomacy, Squad Leader, and Robo Rally.
The studio is already a key licensee for Hasbro. Renegade Game Studios was established in 2014 and has quickly built up a catalog of award-winning titles. Renegade’s catalog of games includes numerous popular titles such as Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid, G.I. JOE Roleplaying Game, Transformers Deck-Building Game, My Father’s Work, and award-winning titles such as Raiders of the North Sea, and The Fox in the Forest.
“Starting in 2023 Renegade is working with Hasbro on plans to produce all versions of these brands for the hobby, mass and specialty markets,” the company says. “The plans include a brand new site for Axis & Allies, along with a world championship, and fan involvement in selecting new themes to add to the line. Fans will also see new printings of staples for the line as well as the return of some long out of print editions.”
As well, Renegade says fans of RoboRally and Diplomacy can look forward to new reprints of these classics hitting store shelves soon.
“We are proud to work with Hasbro and thrilled to see the partnership thriving,” said Scott Gaeta, President and Publisher of Renegade Game Studios. “All of these games are staples for gamers and some of the most well-known brands in the gaming world. Our team is excited to dive in and get to work.”
In addition to these titles, Renegade will also be creating new versions of the popular board game Risk, themed around fan-favorite Hasbro brands G.I. JOE, Transformers, and Power Rangers.
“We are excited to work with Renegade Game Studios on these iconic Hasbro strategy games starting in 2023. We hope that fans will look forward to adding to their collection new battles and themes for the Axis & Allies brand, expanding on its 41-year history,” said Jess Richardson, VP, Global Toy & Game, Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro.
