About

Lago S.r.l., operating as part of the Leader Group, published and distributed various video games in the 2000s, often utilizing its Black Bean Games publishing division. The company was responsible for releasing racing titles like Evolution GT and SBK 09: Superbike World Championship, as well as licensed properties such as Diabolik: The Original Sin, History Channel: Great Battles of Rome, and regional music games like Australian Idol Sing.
The company's early publishing efforts at the turn of the millennium included the European distribution of the racing game Corvette (2000), establishing an early footprint in the motorsport genre. This focus on racing simulation eventually expanded through partnerships with Italian developers, leading to the release of Evolution GT (2000) and the officially licensed motorcycling title SBK 09: Superbike World Championship (2009).
Alongside racing, the publisher targeted the growing casual and interactive music market during the mid-2000s console generation. It secured regional television licenses to release The X Factor Sing (2005) in European territories, followed by Australian Idol Sing (2006) and its specialized hardware bundle Australian Idol Sing [Microphone] (2006) for the Oceania market. In the narrative and strategy sectors, the company managed the rollout of the tactical historical game History Channel: Great Battles of Rome (2007) as well as the stealth-adventure title Diabolik: The Original Sin (2007), which was based on the classic Italian comic book anti-hero. These diverse releases defined the publisher's portfolio of bridging localized European software development with prominent international intellectual properties.
