ATLANTA, GA – April 4, 2016

Today, KontrolFreek, creators of the popular FPS Freek®, announced major licensing deals with the Call of Duty® and Destiny franchises. The partnerships include several new products that will launch throughout 2016, and will be co-branded and designed to optimize gameplay in each AAA title.

Building off of a successful partnership in 2015, Activision, publisher of the critically-acclaimed Call of Duty series, is continuing its relationship with KontrolFreek for 2016. In 2015, KontrolFreek, in partnership with Activision, developed five Call of Duty®: Black Ops III and Call of Duty® Championship themed products for release, including the popularKontrolFreek Call of Duty Black Ops III Jugger-Nog thumbstick.

KontrolFreek is proud to also announce a licensing deal with Bungie, creators of the hit first-person adventure game, Destiny.

“The team is thrilled to be working with KontrolFreek to introduce new thumbsticks and even more for Destiny,” said Jim McQuillan, Visual Identity and Brand Creative Director at Bungie. “This year we’re hoping to work together with KontrolFreek to create some unique designs that embody the Destiny experience for our fans.”

President and CEO of KontrolFreek Ashish Mistry anticipates a watershed year for the company, including huge successes with the licensed products.

“We’re on track for a huge 2016,” said Mistry. “We are always looking for new ways to give our customers high-quality products that reflect their game style and their favorite titles. These new licensing deals solidify that strategy even more and we can’t wait to see what the future brings with these two fantastic brands.”

The licensed products will launch throughout the 2016 calendar year, with release dates set as early as this spring. The licensed products will be available online and at major retailers like BestBuy, GAMEUK and GameStop. The company will also release several original products throughout the year.
