On April 21, 2004 Ubisoft announced that it had acquired the publishing rights from Microsoft (in addition to purchasing developer Tiwak and merging it with it's Montpellier studio) and would be releasing Tork: Prehistoric Punk in North America in January 2005, for the budgeted retail price of $19.99.
