About

Wanadoo, operating as Wanadoo Edition, published and distributed several video games in Europe during the early 2000s. The company is notable for publishing the European releases of Tecmo's survival horror titles Project Zero, Project Zero 2, and Project Zero 3. They also published titles such as New York Race, Castleween, Curse: The Eye of Isis, Pro Beach Soccer, and Next Generation Tennis 2003.
Originally established as the multimedia division of French telecommunications giant France Télécom, the publisher expanded its footprint in the interactive entertainment industry by securing key distribution partnerships across PAL territories. This strategy was highly defined by its relationship with Japanese developer Tecmo, which granted the publisher the European rights to the critically acclaimed Project Zero franchise. By localizing Project Zero, Project Zero 2, and Project Zero 3, the company established a vital pipeline for Japanese survival horror in Europe, introducing Western players to the atmospheric, camera-based gameplay of the series.
Beyond its flagship horror acquisitions, the publisher diversified its portfolio with licensed properties and genre titles. It handled the release of New York Race, a racing game based on the film The Fifth Element, and the gothic platformer Castleween. In the sports sector, the company distributed Pro Beach Soccer and Next Generation Tennis 2003, alongside the survival horror title Curse: The Eye of Isis. The publisher's operations ceased following a strategic realignment by its parent company, leading to the acquisition of its games division by MC2 France in 2003, which subsequently integrated the catalog into Microïds.
