Joking Hazard acquires Lay Waste Games
Joking Hazard has acquired Lay Waste Games.
Lay Waster Games are best known for their Dragoon series of strategy games and Joking Hazard will now complete the stalled fulfilment of the firm’s recent crowdfunding campaign for Dragoon: The Might and Magma expansion.
“It’s very exciting for everyone involved here at Joking Hazard HQ,” said Alex Murty, International Growth Manager at Joking Hazard.
“This will give us an avenue to release games outside of the Cyanide & Happiness brand and launch titles outside of our usual party/comedy style.”
