Focus Home Interactive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, for €38.5 million (approx $45.5 million).

"We are delighted to welcome to the Focus Home group talents such as [Dotemu CEO] Cyrille Imbert and his team, who have succeeded in making games attractive and giving them new life for millions of players around the world," Focus Home Interactive CEO Christophe Nobileau says. With this statement, he is referring to Dotemu's focus on retro games, both as a publisher and developer. Dotemu published and developed sequels and remakes of classic games and series such as The Last Spell or the Young Souls.

"This new collaboration will allow Dotemu to benefit from the incontestable expertise of Focus Home Interactive's teams for the production of AA titles and therefore launch the production of future sequels or remakes on licenses of first-generation 3D consoles," Imbert says. In short, Dotemu will keep doing what they do best—continue the legacy of popular console games from the late 90s and early 2000s and bring them to PC while they're at it.
