Sony Online Entertainment is under new ownership.
Investment management firm Columbus Nova announced today that it closed a deal to acquire SOE from Sony. The massively multiplayer online game developer is responsible for releases like EverQuest, PlanetSide 2, and the recently released H1Z1. Those games are available on PC and some also went live on PlayStation consoles. Now, SOE plans to take those games multiplatform, so you could potentially see the studio’s zombie-survival game on Xbox platforms. As part of the sale, SOE is rebranding itself as Daybreak Game Company.
