PlayStation acquires FireSprite

After the acquisition of housemarket and Nixxes software by PlayStation a couple of months ago, many of us think we would not have similar information for the rest of 2021. However, today, September 8, It was released that FireSprite, known by The Playroom and The Playroom VR, have joined the PlayStation Studios.

Through a statement, Hermen Hulst, head of Playstation Studios, announced that England's study will be added to the team, mentioning that the technical and creative capabilities of the team will be fundamental to grow our star catalog of exclusive games . For its part, this was what Graeme Ankers said, Managing Director of FireSprite:

We have had the pleasure of working with many talented developers and publishers throughout the industry and PlayStation in particular has been a friend and codesarrollo partner for most of a decade, collaborating together on many exciting projects, including The Playroom, Run Sackboy! RUN and the PLAYROOM VR.

PlayStation also gave us the opportunity to create our own IP, The Persistence, and we were given the creative freedom to explore, innovate and launch a horror survival game from which we are immensely proud. Now, as First Party study, we know that we have the total support of PlayStation to promote our inheritance of combining creativity and technical innovation to offer truly unique experiences for PlayStation fans.

FIRESPRITE is a study with more than 250 employees, positioning itself as the largest PlayStation team in this region, surpassing the number of London Studio and Media Molecule combined. Although the details are scarce, It has been mentioned that this group is working on multiple titles . One of these is a multiplayer shooter, and the other is a dark narrative adventure with a blockbuster approach.
