Sony Computer Entertainment has announced its acquisition of developer Guerrilla Games, the company behind Killzone and its much anticipated sequel currently in development for PS3.
Guerrilla signed an exclusive development agreement with SCE in March 2004, and considering the big role their current project (Killzone PS3) plays in Sony’s PS3 strategy this news didn’t come as a big surprise. The Amsterdam-based studio also announced that it is working on a Killzone PSP game.
SCE Worldwide Studios president Phil Harrison commented: ”Guerrilla have a great combination of creative, technical and production talent in their team and we have enjoyed a close working relationship with their management and staff for a number of years."
"As we prepare for the launch of PlayStation 3 next year, this acquisition strengthens our development portfolio to take full advantage of the exciting entertainment opportunities provided by PSP, PlayStation 3 and beyond.”
Guerrilla MD Hermen Hulst added: "Sony Computer Entertainment - with its truly global presence, leading platforms and commitment to innovation - is an ideal partner for Guerrilla and we are delighted to take our existing relationship to the next level."
