After having offered Housemarque at the beginning of the week, Sony Interactive Entertainment formalizes the acquisition of a new studio: Nixxes Software.
The Dutch studio thus joins the big family of PlayStation Studios.
Nixxes what?
It is through Hermen Hulst that we learn today of the acquisition by Sony Interactive Entertainment of Nixxes Software. An announcement that follows another recent takeover, namely that of Housemarque. But who exactly is Nixxes Software?
Indeed, Nixxes Software is a studio that generally works in the shadows, since it specializes in game ports on various platforms and in the support of certain developments (notably with Crystal Dynamics or Eidos Montreal). Thus, Nixxes Software has no games to its credit, although the firm has been in existence for 22 years already.
It is therefore a studio with great experience, which has worked on the ports of many Tomb Raider, but also Legacy of Kain, Kane & Lynch, Thief or Marvel's Avengers. It remains to be seen now what this new acquisition will concretely bring to Sony Interactive Entertainment.
“We look forward to working with some of the most talented teams in the industry to deliver the highest quality gaming experiences for PlayStation fans,” Nixxes Software said.
