Midway Games today announced that it has expanded its international operations with the formation of a new subsidiary, Midway Games GmbH, and the opening of a new office in Munich, Germany. Midway Games GmbH is responsible for all of Midway's sales, marketing and distribution in Germany. Midway's new office will be headed up by industry veteran, Uwe Fuerstenberg.

"Growth in the European territories is a major initiative for Midway," said David F. Zucker, president and chief executive officer of Midway. "This expansion into Germany will allow Midway to continue its strategy of becoming one of the industry's top publishers."

"Germany is a key European territory for Midway, and one we're keen to improve our market share within," said Tony Adams, managing director for Midway Games Ltd. in London, UK. "We consider ourselves very fortunate to have a seasoned industry veteran like Uwe Fuerstenberg running this new operation, and look forward to his future contribution."

"This is a very exciting time for the new team here in Germany," said Uwe Fuerstenberg, general manager, Midway Games GmbH. "We look forward to Midway Games GmbH being a huge success in 2005 and beyond. The strength of Midway's current line-up, coupled with the addition of PC self-publishing makes this the optimum time to expand into the German marketplace."

We always welcome more game companies in Europe. However, it would not hurt if they'd release a couple of quality titles for the GameCube. What do you say Midway? Does this mean we will be getting the new Mortal Kombat?
