PlayStation has officially acquired Housemarque, the developers of Returnal. This means that Returnal was a huge success, and Sony acquired them for more First-Party Games.
Housemarque plans to work on even more AAA Games like Returnal, and they have already started the development of their next game. I cannot wait to see how their next game goes, and I do not think that it will be announced anytime soon, but again, this Sony acquisition is a very big thing.
Ubuntu, Cantarell, ‘Helvetica Neue’, sans-serif;”>We are so excited to finally join the PlayStation Studios family! This gives our studio a clear future and a stable opportunity to continue delivering on gameplay centric approaches, while still experimenting with new methods of narrative delivery and pushing the boundaries of this modern artform. Locally here in Helsinki, this also means that we will officially expand the PlayStation family to a growing industry hub and secure the legacy of the oldest game studio in Finland.
Finally, what this means for our fans? We at Housemarque are gamers, and we have grown from the need to perfect and tinker with facets of games that we have found most fascinating. We are also not known for shying away from running our own course and trying out new combinations. With the backing of SIE and its family of studios supporting us, we can truly grow into our place in the industry and show what Housemarque can create with no limitations. We can’t wait to show everyone what will be in store in the upcoming years, and we hope to usher in more lasting memories and exhilarating titles for the next quarter century and beyond.”
