Sony is nog lang niet klaar met het overnemen van verschillende game studio’s. Vandaag heeft de Japanse gigant bekendgemaakt dat het Savage Game Studio’s gaat overnemen.
Savage Game Studios is een vrij jonge studio die in 2020 werk opgericht. De studio staat bekend om de mobile game World of Warships. De overname van Savage Game Studio’s moet een belangrijke toevoeging voor Sony’s ambitie zijn om ook succesvol te zijn wat betreft mobile gaming. Savage Game Studios zal werken aan een bestaande PlayStation IP.
Het is niet bekend wat Sony heeft betaald voor de overname.
Established in 2020 and led by myself and fellow Co-founders Nadjim Adjir and Michael McManus, Savage Game Studios was born of our many years of mobile game development experience spanning a number of massively successful global IP. Our guiding vision was a creative space where experimentation and taking risks weren’t warily avoided, but rather eagerly embraced. We’ve all worked at big studios and while we respect the advantages of ample resources, we wanted to stay small and nimble so we could call our own shots.
“So why then,” you may be thinking to yourself, “would you join PlayStation Studios?” We made this deal because we believe that PlayStation Studios’ leadership respects our vision for how we can best operate and succeed, and because they too are not afraid to take chances. All of that, plus the ability to potentially tap into PlayStation’s amazing catalog of IP and the fact that we will benefit from the kind of support that only they can provide… The harder question to answer would be “why not?”
