Sony is adding another studio to the PlayStation Studios lineup as the publisher announced they will be acquiring Firewalk Studios.
“Since announcing our publishing partnership with ProbablyMonsters and Firewalk in 2021, we continue to be impressed by the team’s ambitions to build a modern multiplayer game that connects players in new and innovative ways. The studio shares our passion for creating inspiring worlds grounded in exceptional gameplay, and we want to continue to invest in their mission. We’re excited for Firewalk to bring their technical and creative expertise to PlayStation Studios to help grow our live service operations and deliver something truly special for gamers.”
“We’ve assembled some of the most inspired talent in the industry to deliver awe-inspiring new worlds and experiences filled with great core gameplay,” Hsu and Ellis said in their announcement. “The excitement of building something new for players has thoroughly energized the team and our partners, and we’ve been playtesting every day.”
This is yet another live service acquisition for Sony after the previous pick-ups of Bungie and Haven Studios.
