American video game publisher
Tommo Inc. is an American video game publisher based in City of Industry, California. Founded in 1990, Tommo started out as a small independent distributor of imported video games. Since 2006, Tommo also operates a publishing subsidiary, UFO Interactive Games, which is best known for publishing original games, such as several titles in the Raiden series.
History
In July 2013, Tommo successfully placed a bid on a majority of assets held by Atari during the company's bankruptcy sale. The sale included assets related to Humongous Entertainment, GT Interactive, Accolade and over one-hundred titles.[1]
In January 2014, Tommo relaunched the Humongous brand and began re-releasing the company's Junior Adventure titles onto Steam. In October 2014, in conjunction with Night Dive Studios, Tommo launched its Retroism publishing label, which specializes in the re-release of classic video game titles into digital distribution channels.[2]
In 2017, Tommo began a partnership with Hong Kong–based investor and intellectual property management company Billionsoft. In the process, Tommo licensed out its Retroism titles over to them, alongside the brand names. Within the process, Billionsoft relaunched the Accolade label with the intention of producing new entries for ex-Accolade franchises, beginning with the Bubsy series.[3]
In March 2020, newly-formed publisher Ziggurat Interactive purchased several of the ex-Atari titles from Tommo and Billionsoft.[4]
On April 19, 2023, Atari re-purchased back over one-hundred titles held by the two companies, as well as the Accolade and GT Interactive brands.[5]
