Several companies wanted to buy Returnal developers at once, but they opted for Sony

At the end of last month, the company Sony Interactive Entertainment Announces Purchase Finnish team Housemarque – the authors of the experimental action Returnal for Playstation 5 became part of Playstation studios… But as it turned out, the Japanese platform holder was far from the only party interested in the studio. The head of Housemarque told about it Ilari Kuittinen

It turned out that offers to purchase came to the Returnal developers from several sides at once. More specifically, the studio was in talks with companies from China, Sweden and the United States. However, in the end, she settled on Sony, since she has a long-standing relationship of trust and examples of successful joint cooperation with her.

Kuittinen also added that Sony Interactive Entertainment is very interested in Housemarque’s unique creative vision. She provided the studio with the opportunity to continue to create without harsh corporate restrictions.

Recall that the release of Returnal took place in April this year. Read our review here
