The newly-acquired team is Valkyrie Entertainment, as announced by PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst.

Based in Seattle, Washington, Valkyrie has worked mostly in a support role, but is known for developing Guns Up! for PS4 and PC.

It also worked on God of War mostly on level design, the Forza Motorsport franchise on track design, and on several aspects of Riot Games’ titles.

You can find the original announcement below.

This certainly isn’t the first acquisition done by Sony Interactive Entertainment in recent months. The house of PlayStation has been shopping, bringing in the fold Housemarque, Bluepoint, and Firesprite in rapid succession.

Recent acquisitions allowed PlayStation Studios to increase their development workforce by almost 20%, and it appears that Sony is investing heavily in improving its game creation capabilities.

It’ll certainly be interesting to see if more acquisitions are incoming. Of course, we’ll keep you informed here on Twinfinite if any further announcements are made, while more information about general plans could be shared during the next quarterly financial conference call, which will happen at the beginning of February.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
