Myth of Empires developer Angela Game and Ark: Survival Evolved publisher Snail Games have come to a settlement agreement after two years of litigation.
In December 2021, Snail Games successfully requested a DMCA takedown of Myth of Empires from Steam, alleging copyright infringement. Shortly after, Angela Game filed a lawsuit requesting a jury trial and sued Snail Games for damages.
The two companies, as well as Ark developer Studio Wildcard, have come to a settlement agreement and will work together on the redistribution of Myth of Empires, as spotted by GamesIndustry.biz. Angela Game will pay royalty payments from the game to Snail Games.
In a joint press release, Angela Game president Yi Leng Zheng said the studio “acknolwedges that it caused difficulties for Snail’s business”. Studio Wildcard co-founder Doug Kennedy stated the company is “pleased to announce this settlement agreement and facilitate the re-release of Myth of Empires”.
