| Sony Computer Entertainment Acquires Guerrilla Games Sony Computer Entertainment announced that it has acquired developer Guerrilla Games to further expand its development capability as part of Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS). In a strategic move to secure long term excellence in game development for current and future PlayStation platforms, the acquisition of Guerrilla has formalised the already close working relationship between Sony Computer Entertainment and the studio. Guerrilla B.V. based in Amsterdam, Netherlands is the award winning developer of the Killzone game for PlayStation 2, which has shipped close to 2 Million units worldwide. The studio is currently working on a new Killzone title for PLAYSTATION 3, early scenes of which were shown to wide acclaim when revealed at E3 earlier this year. The studio is also developing a further game within the Killzone universe for PlayStation Portable (PSP). Guerrilla signed an exclusive development agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in March 2004 and the acquisition will help the team grow as a key creative element of the SCE Worldwide Studios network. SCE World Wide Studios was formed on 1 September 2005 in order to secure, strengthen and further develop game development and publishing activities for the PlayStation range of game and entertainment consoles. SCE WWS will be responsible for the global creative, technical and strategic direction setting of development and production of computer entertainment software for the PlayStation family. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
