Irvine, Calif. -- Video game publisher Interplay Entertainment announced that it has settled a contractual dispute with Vivendi Universal Games that had caused the company to break the contract and consider legal action, and will re-commence using Vivendi as a distributor for its game titles. Interplay announced in September that it would terminate the agreement, in particular for Vivendi's "refusing to pay Interplay certain monies due following our latest release, 'Lionheart.'" The companies on Thursday said they resolved all disputes and will honor the August 2002 contract, whereby Vivendi will distribute all Interplay titles in North America and Asia-Pacific through August 2005. "We are pleased to have come to an understanding with Interplay and look forward to the upcoming launch of 'Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel,'" said Philip W. O'Neil, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Vivendi Universal Games.
