For Microids, this investment aims to “strengthen its editorial strategy and continue to develop its talent portfolio” and is a continuation of the creation of Microids Studio Lyon and Microids Studio Paris, its two in-house development studios. Founded in 2013, OSome Studio is itself based in the Rhône prefecture and is currently working on a new title for Microids which will be unveiled soon.
“We see Microids taking a stake in our studio as a perfect way to sustain a long-term partnership. It allows us to continue to bring iconic licenses such as Asterix and The Smurfs to life, but also to develop internationally and thus strengthen our team, with other licenses and other challenges to come. We welcome Microids with open arms and look forward to working with them even further.“, comments Mathieu Frémont, CEO of OSome Studio.
“After the creation of Microids Studio Lyon and Microids Studio Paris, we want to make a lasting commitment with one of our partner studios, OSome Studio. At Microids, we believe that in 2022 it is essential to maintain partnerships with French studios that are the pride of our video game cultural heritage.“, adds Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids.
