Sony have announced they have bought the Sucker Punch, the developers behind the Infamous series. This ensures that all Sucker Punch games will remain Sony exclusives, much to the disappointment of Xbox fans.
“Sucker Punch Productions is one of the most highly acclaimed development studios in the industry and we have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with the company for over 12 years. We are delighted to officially welcome them to the SCE family,” says Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) president Shuhei Yoshida.
“The addition of Sucker Punch to SCE WWS reiterates our dedication to developing world class gaming experiences that can only be found on the PlayStation platform. With one of the strongest exclusive software lineups in the PS3′s history, combined with the diverse, innovate content in the works for PlayStation Vita, consumers have a lot to be excited about this year.”
This is a strong move for Sony, as though the PSN mess was months ago; they’re still suffering from the fallout. Also good news for Sucker Punch, provided they’re still given artistic licence over their games, as they’ll have much greater funding and support for their upcoming titles.
