The GAME is well and truly on.
Having yesterday announced that it had secured an exclusive Assassin’s Creed III SKU, GAME has today gone one step further by nabbing exclusive UK rights to Heroes of Ruin.
The Square Enix RPG is due out on 3DS in the UK on June 12th and can only be bought from GAME. It can currently be pre-ordered for 34.99 on GAME’s website.
The deal is yet more great news for a GAME that appears back on its game following a turbulent start to the year that saw it fall into administration and, for a brief period, stare down the possibility of closure.
The UK arm of the business was eventually saved by retail specialist OpCapita, which also later moved to acquire the Spanish and Portuguese operations.
OpCapita has since gone on to win over all of the suppliers with whom the previous management had fallen out with and now appears to be almost back to full-strength – albeit it with a drastically reduced store count and hundreds of former employees still pursuing redundancy payments.
