PlayStation has acquired Firewalk Studios, a development team working on an unrevealed multiplayer title.
Back in 2021, PlayStation announced it was publishing a game from Firewalk Studios, at the time a subsidiary of ProbablyMonsters. Now, PlayStation has flat out acquired the developer, as it announced in a PlayStation Blog post earlier this week. If you haven't heard of Firewalk Studios, that's ok, because since its inception in 2018 it hasn't actually released a game yet. Though the main focus appears to be multiplayer, as that is what the team currently has in development. Firewalk Studios joining PlayStation makes this the 20th first-party studio the company now owns.
"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," wrote head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst in the blog post. "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."
