Tarsier Studios wakes up from the nightmare
“From now on, Tarsier Studios will focus on creating new licenses,” cowardly, peremptorily, Lars Wingefors, the CEO of Embarcer Group, which acquired Tarsier in December 2019. A statement taken from the recently published financial report by the company, which effectively leaves little room for doubt regarding the Swedish studio's future projects.
That being said, it's still unclear what Tarsier's future will be like. Founded in 2006, the studio based in Malmö, Sweden, first became known as a second knife in the development of Little Big Planet before taking off in 2017 with Little Nightmares.
We therefore find in the DNA of the studio a strong appetite for platforms, puzzles and, above all, very elaborate atmospheres. More than for its gameplay, Little Nightmares and its sequel have been particularly well received for their tortured artistic direction. But this turning page could also be an opportunity for Tarsier to diversify its catalog and show what it can do on other styles of play.
