Is this different from the worldwide publisher announced here?

Most worldwide publishers still need local publishers to distribute a game internationally. But usually "distributor" is referred to only as "publisher", so it gets kind of confusing.

In this case, it seems Focus Home is handling the distribution for France.

Sounds like a good choice.

EDIT: Whoa, hold the fort! Looks like the UK is part of this agreement. Nice!

Thanks for the clarification.

But... but... Focus don't distribute games in the UK! They seem to be using Avalon at the moment

.

Can a distributor really pass on to another distributor

?

Yes.

But I probably sold Focus a little short here. It sounds like they've probably agreed to take on the localization responsibilities, too, so they're a little more than just a distributor even in France.

Oh God, those 2 new background screenshots make me giddy with delight.

This is good news.

Has there been any recent updates on how the development is going? I can't find anything reported since July of last year and the game is supposed to be released 4Q this year.

Wow! The artwork/atmosphere is so beautiful in A Vampyre Story. The two new backgrounds look amazing.

Try AME's blog (Oct 27 entry). Still a bit old, but newer than July!
