We haven’t skipped the news of the acquisition today, thank God 🙂 Take-Two announced their acquisition of Dynamixyz in a shared announcement.
Dynamixyz is a company specializing in facial animations. Founded in France in 2010, the company; It features motion capture, face analysis, 3D processing tools and technologies that combine computer graphics, images, and machine learning. In other words, it is possible to say that it is one of the leading companies in the world in realistic animations. We’re not really strangers to examples of that.
In recent years, rockstar games and 2K and Red Dead Redemption 2 and NBA 2K21 have collaborated on facial animations. And now they’re taking this collaboration a step further. We can now expect to benefit from these technologies in the games that will be released under the take-two roof.
There has been no announcement on the financial size of the deal, but it must not have pushed a giant like Take-Two too hard. We can also say that it is an important investment for them. Considering how good the facial animations are, especially in the next generation update of NBA 2K21, we are also looking forward to the games that will be developed and used in the coming period.
