Mamba Games announced that it has acquired the European, Australian, and Eastern European publishing rights for
Making History II: The War of the World, a sequel to Muzzy Lane Software's World War II-based serious game application.
British economic historian Niall Ferguson lends his expertise in the field toward the development of the sequel. A significant portion of
Making History II's gameplay will focus on the global economic climate during World War II.
"Economic resources were decisive in the outcome of the war," said Ferguson. "By giving equal measure to economic as well as military components,
Making History II presents a more complete model of the driving forces behind WWII."
The original
Making History title was
honored by Technology & Learning's 2006 Awards of Excellence, and has been used in classrooms at several high schools and colleges in the United States.
Making History II is set for release in the Fall of this year.
