The collaboration between Dotemu and Leikir Studio on Metal Slug Tactics debuted before Focus absorbed the first. And we have to believe that it is going wonderfully since the French publisher has decided to integrate the Ivry-sur-Seine studio into its roster of developers. He thus joined the studios StreumOn, Deck13, Douze-Dixième and, of course, Dotemu. ” With the acquisition of Leikir Studio, Focus has several new production lines with various artistic directions – stylized 3D, pixel-art or 2D welcomes the publisher in the press release announcing the acquisition. Leikir is indeed a “multi-production” studio and this is clearly what convinced Focus to release the portfolio.
” This acquisition validates our multi-production strategy and will allow us to reach new qualitative and creative levels. This is great recognition for the work accomplished by our teams over the past several years. commented Aurélien Loos, president and founder of the studio. This acquisition is also accompanied by several appointments to various strategic positions within the organization chart of Focus, starting precisely with that of Aurélien Loos who, in addition to his duties within Leikir, will also fulfill those of consultant to the company’s executive committee on the creative and organizational aspects of in-house productions. “.
Finally, let us recall that Metal Slug Tactics is expected on Switch and PC, with no release window announced yet.
