PlayStation acquires Savage Game Studios for mobile efforts

PlayStation announced its latest acquisition today: Savage Game Studios. The studio will become part of the company’s expansion into mobile games and is already working on its first project. Sony had previously said that it planned to make major moves into mobile within the next few years.

PlayStation revealed the acquisition in a blog post by Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios. He said of the new efforts, “[Savage Game Studios was] founded a few years ago with the goal of fearlessly exploring bold new ideas…. [It is] joining a newly created PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, which will operate independently from our console development and focus on innovative, on-the-go experiences based on new and existing PlayStation IP.”
