The Helsinki, Finland-based studio becomes the latest developer within the PlayStation Studios first-party operation.
Sony has bought Returnal developer Housemarque.
Housemarque’s arrival bolsters Sony’s already significant first-party studio network, which includes Uncharted and The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog, Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac, and Horizon developer Guerrilla Games.
The addition of Housemarque, which has created a string of PlayStation exclusives including Super Stardust HD, Resogun and, most recently, PlayStation 5-exclusive Returnal, “enhances the creative force of PlayStation Studios”, Hermen Hulst, head of Worldwide Studios at Sony Interactive Entertainment, said in a post on the PlayStation Blog.
