It’s been a long time since we’ve had a takeover announcement from the PlayStation Studiosfrom that of Savage Game Studios last August, which followed that of Haven Studios in March 2022, both developing projects live-service. Well, now it’s the turn of Firewalk Studios to pass there. The company had already established a partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2021 for the development of a AAA multiplayer that will be exclusive to PS5 and PCsand apparently everything is going well.
Hermen Hulst spoke as usual on the PlayStation-Blog to comment on the ad.
I am delighted to announce that we have expanded our relationship with Firewalk Studios and are delighted to welcome them to PlayStation Studios. Firewalk is home to a remarkably talented team of creatives who pioneered some of the most celebrated gaming experiences, and they’re already hard at work on their first original AAA multiplayer game for PlayStation.
Since announcing our publishing partnership with ProbablyMonsters and Firewalk in 2021, we continue to be impressed with the ambitions of the team at create a modern multiplayer game that connects players in new and innovative ways. The studio shares our passion for creating inspiring worlds based on exceptional gameplay, and we want to continue investing in their mission. We are delighted that Firewalk is bringing its technical and creative expertise to PlayStation Studios for help grow our live service operations and offer something really special to players.
Please join me in welcoming Firewalk!
The head of the studio, Tony Hsu, and the director of this mysterious game, Ryan Ellis, also commented on the announcement.
Once in a while, you can have an adventure.
Over five years ago, we jumped at the chance to create a new studio and create a new license from scratch. Remembering our own favorite moments with games, we founded Firewalk Studios around the idea of delivering memorable moments – those incredible, unmissable moments shared with other people. Our goal is to bring these shared moments of joy to players around the world.
Building a new large-scale studio has been an incredibly exhilarating and daunting task. Luckily, we’ve had some great partners to support us throughout – ProbablyMonsters helped us set up the studio and Sony has supported our project and our creative vision from the start.
We’ve brought together some of the most inspired talent in the industry to deliver awesome new worlds and experiences filled with great core gameplay. The excitement of building something new for players completely energized the team and our partners, and we tested the game every day.
Today we take the next natural step and join PlayStation Studios. We’ve worked closely with Herman and the very talented team at PlayStation for years, helping to make our new game even better. Joining PlayStation Studios is officially becoming part of a family that has produced many of the most famous games of our time, and we are honored to do so.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported us along the way and those who look forward to our future. It’s been an amazing journey so far, and we can’t wait for the next chapter in this adventure.
We just have to wait to see what Firewalk concocted for us. If you are looking for a PlayStation 5, Amazon sell it at the regular price of €549.99.
