Eerder berichtten wij al dat er vanuit Microsoft interesse was om Lionhead Studios over te nemen. Vandaag is het ook daadwerkelijk gebeurd.
Lionhead Studios maakt dus vanaf vandaag deel uit van Microsoft's Gaming Studios. Over nieuwe projecten en de financiële gegevens is nog niets bekend. Met de E3 zullen we waarschijnlijk meer weten.
Peter Molyneux is alvast erg tevreden:
quote: We could not be more excited about being part of MGS. They have long supported our creative vision, and this teamwork resulted in the hugely successful 'Fable' franchise. This acquisition gives Lionhead the stability and opportunity to focus on creating world-class next generation titles. We are joining some of the most incredible studios in the industry, the combined talent of which will truly take next generation gaming to a new level.
Shane Kim van Microsoft is ook erg tevreden over de gedane zaken:
quote: Lionhead is a shining example of the innovative and creative talent that has delivered some of the most impactful and unique games experiences to date, and I am honored to welcome Peter and the incredible people at Lionhead Studios.
Lionhead kennen we van games als Fable, Black & White en The Movies.
