CTOnews.com, August 29, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announced today that it has reached a final agreement to acquire Savage Game Studios, a mobile game development studio with offices in Helsinki and Berlin.

According to reports, Savage Game Studios is led by senior co-founders Michail Katkoff (Rovio, Zynga, Fun Plus, Supercell), Nadjim Adjir (Wargaming, Rovio, Gree) and Michael McManus (Wargaming, Insomniac, Kabam), who have decades of experience in mobile game development and operation. In addition, their team is already developing a new AAA mobile real-time service action game that has not yet been announced.

Hermen Hulst, director of PlayStation Studios, said: "PlayStation Studios must continue to expand and diversify our products beyond the console platform to bring unprecedented new games to more people."

The acquisition of Savage Game Studios's excellent team is another strategic step towards achieving this goal. I'm very excited about what Savage is doing, and I'm sure they will provide a high-quality experience. Our foray into mobile phones, like our expansion into PC and online service games, strengthens our capabilities and our community, and complements PlayStation Studios's goal of creating the best games.

CTOnews.com learned that Savage Game Studios will join the new PlayStation Studios mobile division, a development department independent of the hosting platform.

The PlayStation Studios Mobile team focuses on creating new experiences for players through innovative games that are based on new and existing PlayStation IP and meet the high quality standards of PlayStation Studios. SIE's efforts to reach players wherever they play-mobile, PC or real-time services-will continue to complement their existing expertise to create unparalleled single-player, narrative-driven AAA console games.

The day-to-day operation after the acquisition will continue to be the responsibility of Savage Game Studios's current management team. Details of the terms of the transaction, including the cost of the acquisition, were not disclosed due to contractual commitments.
