We’re excited for Firewalk to bring their technical and creative expertise to PlayStation Studios to help grow our live service operations and deliver something truly special for gamers.”
The procurement comes a year after Sony’s purchase of Destiny developer Bungie, which appears like some sort of unusual kismet.
