CTOnews.com, July 5 (Xinhua)-- Gaving Raeburn, co-founder of Playground Games and former creator of Ultimate Speed: horizon, announced the establishment of a new game studio Lighthouse Games in the UK in March this year, according to GamesIndustry. Recently, the company said it had received an undisclosed amount of investment from Tencent.

Raeburn said that although it has accepted Tencent's investment, Lighthouse Games will still have complete control over its game creativity and distribution decisions, which will be used to invest in new technologies and recruit talent.

"this investment is financial," Raeburn said. "We retain control over the fate of games and studios, and we look forward to establishing strong ties with Tencent." He also said that many companies had contacted the studio to learn more about its plans, but in the end Tencent "offered us a deal that really meets our vision."

He added: "an investment of this scale enables us to strengthen our team, demonstrate our vision of the game and remain completely independent, while still leveraging the technology and experience of one of the world's largest game publishers. This new start also enables us to build our games from scratch without solving the remaining technical or architectural issues."

"the shackles are off," Raeburn concluded. "it feels like we're really free."

CTOnews.com previously reported that Lighthouse Games, made up of 30 experienced game developers, is currently developing an original IP 3A game, but has not yet released details of the IP.
