Harebrained Schemes Parts Ways with Paradox Interactive, Regains Independence Starting January 1, 2024

Seattle game developer Harebrained Schemes will become independent from Paradox Interactive on January 1 after a mutual agreement; Paradox acquired Harebrained in 2018 for $7.5 million but is refocusing on its core strategy and management game niches. Paradox retains ownership of Harebrained's existing games, including The Lamplighters League and BattleTech, while Harebrained seeks new funding and partnerships for its future.
