From MCV Develop:
Independent development studio Rebellion has acquired The Bitmap Brothers for an undisclosed sum.
The Bitmap Brothers created a number of classic games in the 1980s and 90s, including titles such as Xenon, Z: Steel Soldiers, Speedball and Chaos Engine. Rebellion says it "plans to bring classic The Bitmap Brothers games to new platforms, and going forward to create new titles based on its beloved licenses".
"We're delighted with the addition of The Bitmap Brothers to the ever-growing Rebellion portfolio," said Rebellion CEO and co-founder Jason Kingsley OBE. "The Bitmap Brothers are renowned for making great games and for bringing gaming into the mainstream with inimitable style. We've known Mike Montgomery for many years and we're honoured by the faith and trust that he has shown in us by passing on the torch. We'll strive to be vigilant custodians of one of gaming's great names."
