Sony Group Corporation announced on Monday, Aug. 29, that has acquired the Finland and German-based mobile game developer called Savage Game Studios. The gaming console maker did not disclose the value of the deal.
As per Reuters, Sony Group’s acquisition of Savage Game Studios is part of its major push to go beyond the gaming console business. It can be recalled that back in May, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s president and chief executive officer, Jim Ryan, unveiled the company’s plans to expand its gaming portfolio.
He also mentioned that they are focusing on single-player games and will release more titles on mobile and PC. In any case, Savage Game Studios is still considered fresh in the business as it was only launched two years ago. Currently, it is focusing on live service action titles for mobile.
With the acquisition, Sony Interactive said that the game developer would soon become part of PlayStation Studios’ new mobile division. The Tokyo-headquartered Japanese multinational conglomerate is hoping that with Savage Game Studios in the house, it will be able to tap into more consumer spending on gaming by boosting its platforms.
“PlayStation Studios must continue to expand and diversify our offering beyond the console, bringing incredible new games to more people than ever before,” PlayStation Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios head, Hermen Hulst, said in a press release. “Acquiring the talented team at Savage Game Studios is another strategic step towards that goal.”
He went on to say, “I am 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.”
Meanwhile, Michail Katkoff, the co-founder and CEO of Savage Game Studios, said that the announcement of the company’s acquisition by the Sony Group simply reflects their belief that Sony Interactive Entertainment shares their passion for taking risks and experimentation. The gaming studio aims to bring more meaningful innovation to the gaming industry while working with a leading firm.
