Firesprite, a studio acquired by Sony, acquires new studio

You read that right.

Firesprite Games, the studio behind Astro’s Playroom that was acquired by Sony earlier in the month, has acquired a studio of its own in Fabrik Games.

“I’m delighted to announce that we will be bringing Fabrik Games and Firesprite together as part of our exciting next step with PlayStation Studios,” said Firesprite’s Managing Director Graeme Ankers.

“They are a team of passionate and committed developers, led by industry veterans who have worked on many AAA franchises,” Ankers continued. “We’re looking forward to bolstering our creative talent as we continue on our journey to offer truly unique experiences for PlayStation fans.”

“We have a history working and collaborating closely with Firesprite,” Fabrik head Errol Ismail added. “There’s a huge amount of creative and cultural alignment already and the entire team is excited to be on board. We can’t wait to show everyone what we’re capable of.”

The acquisition means Firesprite’s new head count sits at 265 employees.
