Zipper Interactive, the development studio responsible for the highly successful SOCOM series has been acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment.
"We were first drawn to Sony Computer Entertainment by their vision for growing the videogame industry," said Zipper Interactive president and CEO Jim Bosler. "We've enjoyed an incredible relationship with SCE for more than six years...As a part of the Sony Computer Entertainment group we can look forward to introducing innovative titles that push online functionality and community experiences even further."
This can only be good news for fans of the series as this means that Zipper Interactive will now have even more resources available for the development of their not yet confirmed (but very likely in development) PS3 SOCOM game.
