“PlayStation Studios must continue to expand and diversify our offering beyond the console, bringing incredible new games to more people than ever before,” head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst said. “Acquiring the talented team at Savage Game Studios is another strategic step towards that goal. I’m really excited about what Savage is working on and I’m confident they will deliver a high-quality experience. Our move into mobile, like our expansion into PC and live service games, strengthens our capabilities and our community, and complements PlayStation Studios’ purpose to make the best games that we can.”
The studio will put more of an emphasis on creative, mobile experiences built around future and current PlayStation IPs. The current management group of Savage Game Studios will be in charge of the newly established studio’s operations. Due to contractual obligations, neither the acquisition’s conditions nor its monetary worth has been disclosed.
Speaking about the acquisition Michail Katkoff, the CEO and co-founder of Savage Game Studio said in a statement. “ We have great admiration for the consistency and quality of PlayStation’s first-party catalog, knowing just how hard it is in this industry to deliver time and time again as they have. We’re honored to become part of that legacy and to join PlayStation Studios’ world-class collective of immensely talented designers, artists, and engineers. We’re early in development on our unannounced project but can’t wait to show you more of what we’re working on.”
