Sony continues to purchase new studios. With the statement made, it was announced that Savage Game studio came under the umbrella of Playstation Studios.
As you know, Sony has been buying studios for a while to strengthen the Playstation brand. Incorporating many companies it has been working with for a long time, Sony also continues to strengthen its hand with companies that turn to different parties. According to the statement made on the Playstation Blog page, the company bought the Savage Game studio this time. After the acquisition of the company working on mobile games, of course, the possibility that Sony may turn to the mobile side comes to mind. The statement made by Herman Hulst is as follows;
Playstation acquires Savage Game studio
“Today we announced that we have reached a definitive agreement to acquire Savage Game Studios, a highly talented creative team with years of experience making some of the most popular mobile games loved by gamers around the world. With the goal of fearlessly exploring bold new ideas. They were founded a few years ago. We share their tireless passion for innovation, along with a continuing effort to expand our audience and bring PlayStation to more people than ever before and bring them into PlayStation Studios.”
“Founded in 2020, led by me and our co-founders Nadjim Adjir and Michael McManus, Savage Game Studios is a long-standing mobile game development company spanning multiple successful global IPs,” said Michail Katkoff, CEO and Co-Founder of Savage Game Studios. born from our experience. Our guiding vision was a creative space where experimentation and risk-taking were not prudently avoided but eagerly embraced. We’ve all worked at large studios and while we respect the advantages of abundant resources, we wanted to stay small and agile so we could make our own games.
‘Then why?’ You might be thinking, we made this deal because we believe PlayStation Studios’ leadership respects our vision of how we can best work and be successful, and they’re not afraid to take risks. Added to all that, the ability to potentially leverage PlayStation’s amazing IP catalog and the fact that we’ll benefit from the kind of support only they can provide… The harder question to answer is “why not?” will be.
