Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has announced the acquisition of the Game Development Studio based in Liverpool in the UK.
Fires Plight was founded in 2012.Originally, in Studio Riverpool (closed in 2012), which was originally sent out of the F1 series and WIPEOUT series under Sony, Veteran 5 who has been involved in games in his PSYGNOSIS (Signosis) before his acquisition in 2001 and became Sony umbrella.It is a studio launched mainly with the name.
Fires Plight has been working on the development support of PS4's functional showcase "Play Room" and PS VR "PlayRoom VR", science fiction horror "Pur system" and other VR compatible and dedicated titles.
Sony's Studio Riverpool, which was previously belonged by the central member, is a development studio known for the Formula 1 series and the anti -gravity race WIPEOUT series.Before being acquired by Sony, he had sent many titles since the dawn of the British game development industry, was PSYGNOSIS.
Sony acknowledges Studio LiverPool closed.The curtain in the history of 28 years from the old PSYGNOSIS
Just because the founding member belongs, it is not a Fires Plight or the old Studio Liverpool, but in a sense Sony has once again incorporated the closed studio Riverpool gene.
Here is the SIE President Jim Ryan, the PLAYSTATION STUDIOS (former guerrilla Games, Killzone, etc.), and the Fires Plight Managing Director Graham Ankers, which supervises the development studio under the umbrella.
The Firthus Plight has been working on many other PS studio support and in a sense support for platforms, but after the acquisition, it is expected to develop its own new work.I don't think there will be a wiped out that just raised the resolution and frame rate in this era, but with advanced technologies and new ideas that have succeeded the lineage of Studio Riverpool, including the next -generation VR system for PS5.I would like to expect a new work.
