Giochi Preziosi Group and Marathon Media have appointed Blue Ocean Entertainment to publish a new Gormiti magazine series in Germany.

The two-year deal will kick off with the launch of the first issue on October 27th.

"Publishing is always an incredibly important part of any licensing programme and finding the right partner is essential," said Graziano Delmaestro, GP's licensing director. "Blue Ocean's track record and experience with other licences speaks for itself and we are delighted to have them on board with this new magazine venture."

Blue Ocean's Sigrun Kaiser added: "Gormiti is the perfect extension of our boys' magazines portfolio which we put a lot of effort in. The toy brand and other licensing areas are strong and the property is well known in Germany. We are confident of an outstanding and very successful new magazine."
