This exclusive deal will see an exciting new range of character-based games to be launched in 2021

Pariplay Ltd., the No. 1 aggregator and content provider behind innovative products including the Fusion aggregation platform and the Ignite Studio development programme, has today announced it has strengthened its partnership with the globally recognised and critically-acclaimed New York-based comic book publisher, Valiant Entertainment by adding three more years to their agreement. Through the extension of this partnership, which was originally signed in 2014, Pariplay will add a whole new set of exciting Valiant-branded games to its already impressive pipeline.

Valiant Entertainment was founded in 1989 by a renowned group of comic book creators. Through its story-first approach and cutting-edge team of creative talent, Valiant Entertainment quickly became one of the most recognised and awarded publishers in the world. After catching the eye of DMG Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based leader in global entertainment, Valiant was acquired in 2018. Under the DMG Entertainment umbrella, Valiant’s legendary characters have been brought to life and become worldwide franchises, including Bloodshot, whose own live action movie was released earlier this year. A Harbinger movie is also in development, and Valiant’s first young adult novel, Faith: Taking Flight, is out now.

Through this exclusive real money games partnership, Pariplay has already launched a range of Valiant-branded games, such as the huge hits Bloodshot, Bloodshot Rising Spirit and X-O Manowar. Moreover, as the ink on the freshly signed deal extension dries, Pariplay has just released another action-packed branded game, Faith, which stars another one of Valiant’s popular characters of Harbinger Renegade fame.

The latest agreement adds a whole new level of excitement to Pariplay’s pipeline by bringing even more entertaining casino games to its industry-leading portfolio based on an internally recognised set of comic characters. Not only are they an excellent and exclusive addition to Pariplay’s suite, but Valiant’s branded games will also help support the content provider’s ongoing global expansion strategy, by providing players from all over the world with a gaming experience full of thrilling characters and stories.

Russell Brown, President- Consumer Products, Promotions, Media Sales at Valiant Entertainment said: “We are very pleased to be extending our already successful partnership with Pariplay and provide them with even more game content featuring our world-famous comic book characters. Pariplay’s far-reaching global presence provides an excellent platform to introduce all new branded games, and we look forward to another three years working together.”

Richard Mintz, Marketing Director at Pariplay said: “We are delighted to have this association with a global powerhouse like Valiant Entertainment and are very satisfied with how our partnership has gone to date, so we were eager to extend it. Our players have loved Valiant’s branded games, and with their library of over 2,000 characters, the possibilities with them really do seem endless.”
