This Nival Interactive Press Release announces that the publisher is opening U.S. offices under CEO Kevin Bachus, formerly of Infinium Labs:

The company’s new leadership based in Los Angeles, CA, is moving Nival beyond its dominance in the PC market, where it has developed 15 successful and profitable games over the past decade, into globally relevant, high quality console, video and mobile games and outsourced asset production. The company will combine proven U.S. creative and management resources with exceptional development talent in lower cost regions of the world. By using these “reverse outsourcing” techniques, the lead designers, art directors and programmers based in Los Angeles, along with the company’s 300 overseas developers in five development studios, assure Nival’s partners that the company’s products will rival those developed anywhere in the world. Further, the company is able to leverage its excess capacity to offer outsourcing work to its partners while simultaneously developing its own games in concert with leading worldwide game publishers.
