Firesprite has announced the acquisition of Manchester-based studio Fabrik Games.
Firesprite was recently acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment, so the developer will join the PlayStation Studios group. The announcement actually announced that the acquisition “occurred in connection with Firesprite’s addition to PlayStation Studio.”
Fabrik Games was founded in 2014 by Graeme Ankers, managing director of Firesprite. The two studios recently collaborated on the horror game The Persistence, and Fabrik has previously worked on plays such as The Lost Bear and Filthy Lucre.
With this acquisition, Firesprite’s number of employees will reach 265 people.
