The story
Astragon was originally headquartered in Hagen, but moved to Mönchengladbach in 2004. Astragon formerly specialised in publishing simulation games for Microsoft Windows, but in 2008 they moved into other areas, when they published more casual games like Wendy: Holidays at Rosenborg for the Nintendo DS.
They have released several English language games under their Just Play It! label, including Myst IV: Revelation and CSI: Dark Motives. Astragon publishes games by Big Fish Games and iWin in the German language market.
The company has publishing simulation games for a variety of platforms. Titles include the Construction Simulator series, the Bus Simulator series, the Farming Simulator series, and additional titles including commercial fishing simulation Fishing: Barents Sea, Firefighting Simulator, FPV drone racing simulation game Liftoff: Drone Racing, and Police Simulator: Patrol Officers.
In September 2015, Astragon became the 100th GAME member of the association of the German games industry called GAME – Bundesverband der deutschen Games-Branche e.V..
In 2019, the company moved to Düsseldorf. In July 2021, the Astragon Sales & Services merged with its subsidiary with the new company operating as astragon Entertainment. In January 2022, the company was acquired by the Team17 Group in a deal worth £83 million.
