The post goes on to say that the sale includes “both the full entitlement to the game as well as related trademarks and domain names,” giving 505 Games the possibility to create new games under the Brothers name, with the first game having already sold 800,000 copies according to the post. Ian Howe, President of 505 Games had this to say about the acquisition: “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a remarkable game, one of the most affecting games of the last generation and one of which 505 Games has been very proud to be associated. This acquisition reflects 505 Games’ stated strategy of owning and controlling its own IP, and, moreover, IP that can contribute something meaningful to the world of interactive entertainment.”
