Konami end ten year distribution deal with Atari Australia

Konami have ended a ten year distribution relationship with developer and publisher Atari Australia. Konami’s titles will continue to be distributed in Australia by Atari until the February 2009 release of Silent Hill: Homecoming. Konami will be partnering with Sydney-based Red Ant, who will take over distribution after Silent Hill has shipped. “”It’s been great working with Atari Australia,”” says Konami Digital Entertainment president Kunio Neo, according to industry news site Edge. More inside “”Atari conducts an outstanding distribution operation, and we have had many great years together. We part company as good friends, and I wish [Atari Australia managing director Gerard Noonan] and his team continued success in Australia.””

Isn’t it great that we no longer have to suffer through the slow Atari distribution? Understocked Red Ant distribution, here we come!
