Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Codemasters has announced that local distributor Megarom will be taking over as the exclusive distribution partner for Codemasters' products in South Africa.

“We are extremely excited to partner with Megarom in what is sure to be our biggest year ever, not only with the soon to be released Operation Flashpoint: Red River and DiRT 3, but also with one of our most exciting new IP’s, Bodycount, which is also slated for release in 2011.” commented Hal Bame, Director Distributor Territories and Emerging Markets. “Megarom has a proven track record on the South African market and all of us at Codemasters are confident they have the expertise and enthusiasm to maximise our business and entire product portfolio across all current and future formats”

This is the second time Codemasters has changed its local distribution partner, moving from Ster Kinekor to Nu Metro back in 2009.

With games such as Operation Flashpoint: Red River, DiRT 3 and Bodycount on the horizon, it's certainly a big win for Megarom who already maintains partnerships with some of the biggest video game publishers such as Take 2, Activision/Blizzard, Atari and more.
