Sony is expanding its reach into mobile gaming with its recent acquisition of Savage Game Studios. We will learn more about this German company below. But now you know that it has offices in Berlin and Helsinki and is made up of industry veterans as developers. In addition, Savage’s management team would handle the day-to-day operations of PlayStation Studios Mobile Division. The latter is the new fork of the Sony PlayStation business and exists independently of its console division. Aside from all these business details, the exciting news of Sony’s announcement is that the company is working on a AAA mobile title.
Sony Interactive Entertainment (“SIE”) has entered into a “definitive agreement” to acquire Savage Game Studio. This will add Savage Game Studios co-founders: Michail Katkoff (Rovio, Zynga, Fun Plus, Supercell), Nadjim Adjir (Wargaming, Rovio, Gree) and Michael McManus (Wargaming, Insomniac, Kabam) to the Sony PlayStation Studios Mobile Division. With this move, Sony wants to “deliver a quality experience” and “make the best games we can.”
I’m thrilled to welcome Savage Game Studios. They join a new independent PlayStation Studios Mobile Division whose mission is to reach even more new players around the world. Michail and his team are already working on something great; I can’t wait until they can show you. https://t.co/61HpPOmFvs
