Just announced.

Today I'm thrilled to welcome a new member to the PlayStation Studios family!

Housemarque's recent release of Returnal proves the studio is one with incredible vision, capable of creating memorable new games that resonate with our community. This addition enhances the creative force of PlayStation Studios, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Housemarque.

Huge news.

So much for Returnal bombing lmao

Oh shit. So deserved. Returnal was an absolutely amazing game.

 

[Arn]

So pleased for the developers. Make hit after hit and get stability to continue doing so in the future.

Not sure why it took this long. Is this a Next Level Games / Nintendo scenario?

 

[Ogni-XR21]

Was to be expected...

 

[modiz]

Jim Ryan really waited for that new OT huh.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Excuse me

Super Stardust HD!

 

[Glio]

Housemarque has always been on the brink of shutting down so I'm not particularly upset about this.

 

[Desfrog]

Fuck yes

 

[LossAversion]

They were worth it, whatever they cost.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Hell fucking yes. They needed the financial security to keep doing their amazing work.

Super happy about this.

 

[lost7]

Returnal was incredible, can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Poor Bluepoint, though 😂

 

[8bit]

White Shadows for everyone!

 

[Chairmanchuck (另一个我)]

[kowalski]

Wow! Great catch!!

 

[RecRoulette]

One of those "Oh I thought they already owned them" acquisitions.

Returnal wasn't my jam but they made the jump to a larger game pretty well, excited to see what they do next

 

[Undrey]

Whoa! Huge news. Dead Nation was amazing.

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

Great pickup! Excited to see what Housemarque can do with even more backing.

 

[Charpunk]

Excited to see what they can do with more resources. Returnal was incredible.

Good shit. Returnal proved this studio has limitless potential.

Fuck yeah, so happy for Housemarque and for Sony. Returnal was a truly remarkable game and I look forward to anything they put out going forward

 

[Kida]

Great news for them!!

 

[Deleted member 17990]

Makes perfect sense. :)

 

[MadLaughter]

Let's hope that the game doesn't crash and Sony loses all their progress!

But cool that Housemarque made a big pivot and it worked out for them.

 

[Helix]

holy fucking shit! yes! YES!

they needed this and are very deserving of this!

happy for Housemarque!

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

Random Tuesday etc etc.

 

[Theswweet]

I guess Returnal was the test and they passed!

 

[manustany]

Not a huge surprise to be honest but I'm super happy for the Studio. I always loved Housemarque's games and Returnal will definitely by my GOTY if not gane of the generation.

 

[Couscous]

Nice! Returnal is my favourite new Sony IP since Bloodborne and I can't wait to see what Housemarque does next with a big Sony budget.

 

[Bennibop]

This is great news, I am really pleased they have got long term stability they are a talented bunch. Their gameplay is always top tier.

 

[HellofaMouse]

it was inevitable. bluepoints probably next

 

[FusedAtoms]

Holy shit!! Give me some new Returnal content ASAP

So good! Returnal is amazing!

Love this organic growth by PlayStation Studios, excited

 

[Pankratous]

That's a very interesting get! Returnal was a pretty new direction for them, so I'm excited to see what they do next.

 

[tobes231]

Congrats and well deserved! Still haven't played Returnal yet, but Nex Machina and Resogun are superb.

 

[Adulfzen]

before Returnal it really felt like Housemarque was on the brink of closing down so it's a huge turnaround for them, congrats.

 

[Deleted member 97514]

I guess Returnal was a success then.

 

[Xater]

Good for Housemarque after we heard of them struggling some time ago. This should give them some security.
