Support studio joins officially joins Sony ranks
Sony Interactive Entertainmenthas announcedthat it has acquired Valkyrie Entertainment, a Seattle-based developer that has worked with Sony and other major publishers on major IPs includingGod of War, Halo, andTwisted Metal.
Originally founded in 2002, Valkyrie Entertainment is best known for its support work, and has assisted many major publishers and developers on some very fine video games. The studio’s resume includes development assistance on games such asBatman: Arkham Origins, Injustice 2, andMiddle Earth: Shadow of Warfor Warner Bros.,Halo InfiniteandForza Motorsport 2for Microsoft, andInfamous 2and the fantastic 2018 releaseGod of Warfor its new owners. Perhaps Valkyrie will see its skills plied toward upcoming Sony releases such asGod of War: RagnarokandGran Turismo 7.
Expected to be Sony’s final studio acquisition of 2021, Valkyrie Entertainment joins a who’s who of new family members who have fallen under the Sony banner within the past year. These includeReturnaldeveloper Housemarque, VR studiosFirespriteand Fabrik Games, and remaster… erm… mastersBluepoint. Like so many major publishers, Sony Interactive Entertainment is clearly staffing up for the ninth generation of gaming, which will see, arguably, its first real run of competitive AAA releases dropping throughout 2022 (or at least delayed into 2023).
