Perpetual Entertainment has replaced SOE’s Platform Publishing as the official publisher of Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising. Previously, the two companies had been in a co-publishing agreement. SOE Senior Brand Manager Debysue Wolfcale characterized the move as clarification of the actual roles each company play in the development of the game. SOE continues to handle marketing and retail distribution for the title, the same roles they held before this move.

Leave it to the SOE PR folks to downplay this as a “good” thing for them and poor little fledgling Perpetual Entertainment’s striking of the SOE brand as their publisher.

With SOE still responsible for all marketing and retail distribution of Gods and Heroes, it remains to be seen if this has any material impact on SOE’s role supporting Perpetual, or if its simply an easy way for both companies to distance themselves and appease the SOE haters.
