European publisher Deep Silver, known for games like Sacred 2 and Risen have entered into a deal with publishers Southpeak for North American distribution.

The Section 8 publisher will now be distributing all of Deep Silver's forthcoming titles in North America.

Deep Silver COO, Geoff Mulligan explains: "SouthPeak instantly brings a great deal of market expertise in North America to our organization. Their team has a strong understanding of the product lifecycle including game development, marketing and placement. Most importantly, this alliance allows us to leverage their well established US publishing and distribution platform."
