Bethesda’s parent company ZeniMax acquires Doom co-developer Escalation Studios

ZeniMax is bringing in a little more game-development firepower to its already considerable roster.

The parent company of Fallout and Skyrim publisher Bethesda announced today that it has acquired developer Escalation Studios, which has primarily worked as a co-developer offering support on other companies’ projects. Most recently, Escalation worked with id Software on 2016’s excellent hell-on-Mars shooter Doom. With this new team in place, ZeniMax’s internal game-making squads can now turn to Escalation for help in completing and polishing their releases.
