Düren, Germany - August 28, 2024 — Headup, the indie videogame publisher, and Maestro Media, a leading company specializing in tabletop games, merchandising, and innovative consumer products, are excited to announce a new collaboration focusing on Headup’s Bridge Constructor game license.
Maestro, well-known for their collaboration with creator Edmund McMillen on the massive hit card game The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls, is currently working on the physical strategy card game Bridge Constructor®: Breaking Point, which, as part of today’s partnership, Headup will bring to the digital space as a new videogame — bringing a new spin to the audience of Headup’s beloved #1 Bridge Constructor® franchise.
As part of the planned tabletop release, Headup and Maestro Media are also combining their expertise to create a faithful digital adaptation of Bridge Constructor®: Breaking Point, which will be made available on leading digital storefronts in late 2024/early 2025. Fans of the franchise, along with strategy game enthusiasts, can look forward to a unique and immersive experience upon the game’s digital release.
The Bridge Constructor® brand, celebrated for its brainteasing titles, including Bridge Constructor®, Bridge Constructor® Portal®, and Bridge Constructor®: The Walking Dead®, is set to make its Q1 2025 debut in the world of physical card games. The tabletop card game Bridge Constructor®: Breaking Point will offer fans a fresh and strategic way to experience the challenge of bridge-building with their friends and family.
Maestro Media has been instrumental in creating and developing the physical card game, bringing their innovative approach to consumer products and the highest level of design expertise into this exciting project. Headup's proven track record in digital gaming ensures that the upcoming version of Bridge Constructor®: Breaking Point will capture the essence and feeling of Maestro’s upcoming card game.
“As we are thinking in terms of holistic entertainment and not just individual projects, Maestro Media’s idea to create a card game based on our most important IPs was a no-brainer from day one,” says Dieter Schoeller, CEO and founder at Headup. “The success of our previous digital games has set a high standard, and with Bridge Constructor®: Breaking Point, we are confident in delivering both a digital and physical product that meets and exceeds those expectations.”
Maestro Media is equally enthusiastic about the collaboration, with Javon Frazier, the company’s founder & CEO, commenting, “Collaborating with Headup on Bridge Constructor®: Breaking Point has been an incredibly rewarding experience. As the first game in our digital expansion, we couldn't have chosen a more fitting title. The Bridge Constructor® franchise is a testament to creativity, engineering, and problem-solving, with a legacy that resonates deeply with fans. We're excited to bring this beloved series into the physical world and, ultimately, back into the digital realm where it first thrived.”
Bridge Constructor®: Breaking Point is currently in development, with its release planned for late 2024/early 2025. Sign up to be notified when the game launches at bridgeconstructorgame.com.
