Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), the Sony subsidiary behind the PlayStation console, has announced that it’s forming a new company specifically to build games for mobile devices. “ForwardWorks” will be officially incorporated on April 1 — the same day SCE is due to merge with Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI) to create Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), a new business dedicated to PlayStation.
The move shows that Sony isn’t giving up on the $34.8 billion mobile segment of the $99.3 billion global gaming market — even if it failed in its first attempt with PlayStation Mobile, a now abandoned initiative that sought to make some games available on select Android phones.
