Majesco Departs Gaming, Now In Medicine


Majesco Entertainment is a company with a massive history in the industry, but their mark on gaming ends this month with the announcement that the company has merged with PolarityTE, a biotech firm, and will be leaving gaming behind for (presumably) brighter horizons. Gamers might know Majesco best as the North American publisher for a gigantic list of titles, from Cooking Mama to Bloodrayne, and Bomberman, among others. Following ups and downs, financial issues, and a move to the mobile sector, and when the company announced no new games for 2015 it became rather clear that Majesco would need to shift focus to ensure future survival.

The acquisition puts Majesco in the hands of PolarityTE, a company focused on regenerative medicine.

Among Majesco’s final list of releases includes the HD A Boy and His Blob, which MMO Fallout featured in the ongoing Playstation sale. You can pick up the game for $2.49 at the moment, and I would suggest doing so if you even have a slight interest as Majesco leaving the industry may result in their titles becoming unavailable for purchase at some point in the future. It isn’t guaranteed to happen, but it has in the past.
