Sony has acquired Firewalk Studios, the 20th member of the PlayStation Studios ‘family’ | VGC

The developer, which was part of independent game company ProbablyMonsters, was already working in partnership withon a yet-unannounced multiplayer IP, and will now be fully acquired by the console maker.

“The studio shares our passion for creating inspiring worlds grounded in exceptional gameplay, and we want to continue to invest in their mission,” PlayStation Studios head“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 had the privilege of working with ProbablyMonsters and Firewalk for several years and our teams share the same ambition to create meaningful experiences for gamers. “Firewalk’s innovative approach to connected storytelling and its commitment to high-quality gameplay continues to exceed our expectations. I think fans will be very pleased when they see what Firewalk has in store for them.”

The company, which has yet to release a game, was founded in 2018. “We started Firewalk Studios in 2018 with this kind of spark at the heart of our games,” studio head Tony Hsu said in 2021“It’s why I used to stay up until 2 AM playing Phantasy Star Online night after night with the same group from Server 9. Or how the neighbors who showed up at my NYC apartment to complain about the noise, ended up jamming with us in Rock Band instead.

this is why sony always wins. Nintendo ms just can't compete against sony.
