The French developer and publisher Dotemu, which focuses on retro titles, has been acquired by fellow French publisher Focus Home Interactive. Best known for the hit brawler revival Streets of Rage 4, Dotemu has brought many acclaimed retro games to modern consoles, including the multiplayer frisbee battler Windjammers and the old-school platformer remake Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.

　　According to a press release, Focus Home purchased a 77.5% share in the company for 38.5 million euros, in addition to another 15 million euros conditional on future revenue. The press release also revealed that Streets of Rage 4 has been played by over 2.5 million people worldwide, though it's unclear how this metric translates directly to sales numbers. (For comparison, the game was available on Xbox Game Pass for a time.)
