Rebellion, the makers of Sniper Elite (to not point out the house owners of the comedian 2000 AD), have expanded their enterprise portfolio as soon as extra. It’s certain in black leather-based with crimson distinction stitching, has built-in pen holder and a cartridge pouch, and… oh, sure, they’ve purchased Radiant Worlds. That studio identify won’t be acquainted, as they’d solely labored on a doomed Minecraftbut MMO named SkySaga: Infinite Isles, however you would possibly know two of the names behind the studio: Andrew and Philip Oliver. You know, the Oliver Twins, them lads within the ’80s UK video games scene who span an egg so arduous it turned Dizzy. Well, now Radiant Worlds is a part of Rebellion and dealing on Rebellion’s video games.
Radiant Worlds introduced SkySaga in November 2014 and did quickly let gamers into an invitation-only alpha however, in August 2017 shortly earlier than the open beta launch, publishers Smilegate put the sport on indefinite maintain. Seeing as that was Radiant’s solely sport, they’ve been in a sticky scenario. While they haven’t introduced SkySaga with them, they’re no less than secure now.
Rebellion announced at the moment that they’ve snapped up Radiant Worlds “for an undisclosed sum” (paid in eggs, I assume) and welcome the studio and its 70 members, Olivers included, into the household as Rebellion Warwick. That pushes Rebellion previous 300 folks throughout three studios, which is basically fairly massive for the UK.
Radiant are actually serving to with video games Rebellion have already got on the go, such because the cooperative pulp ’em up shooter Strange Brigade.
I’m a little bit unwell proper now, and in my funk I see Dizzy the egg being shot by a slow-mo Sniper Elite bullet. It crackes by means of the shell, pierces the membranes, bursts the air cell, ripples by means of the albumen, and–will it? will it?–simply nicks the yolk, leaving a swirl of yellow because the bullet punches out the opposite facet. Get properly quickly, me.
