PlayStation has acquired a new mobile studio, Savage Game Studios.
In a blog post earlier today, head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst announced the acquisition, stating that the new arrival shares PlayStation's "ambition to innovate, along with a continued drive to expand our audience and bring PlayStation to more people than ever before."
That push into mobile territories is a key takeaway here, and it's one that Hulst specifically comments on. He states that "as we assured you before with our plans to bring select titles to PC, out efforts beyond console in no way diminish our commitment to the PlayStation community, nor our passion to keep making amazing, single-player, narrative-driven experiences."
"Our mobile gaming efforts will be similarly additive, providing more ways for more people to engage with our content." Savage Games will be part of a newly-formed PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, which will operate separately from console development, but will still create games based on "new and existing PlayStation IP."
Savage Games, which has two studios - in Berlin, Germany, and Helsinki, Finland - is already working on a live service action game, although there's no sense of when that project might surface.
For a hint at what we might see on mobile, here's our list of upcoming PS5 games.
