Square Enix meddelar i en pressrelease att Luminous Productions, studion bakom Forspoken, kommer gå samman med Square Enix. Fusionen med utvecklaren, som redan ägs av Square Enix, genomförs för att stärka Square Enix med Luminous expertis.
Att ge Luminous framtida projekt fullt stöd från Square Enix kan dessutom bidra till att undvika de medelmåttiga recensioner som Forspoken möttes av framöver. I pressreleasen kan vi läsa:
"The merger is part of the company's efforts to further bolster the competitive prowess of the Group's development studios. Luminous productions is equipped not only with AAA title development capabilities but also technical expertise in areas such as game engine development. Combining the two entities will further enhance the group's ability to develop HD games."
Luminous Productions själva skriver såhär om saken via via Twitter.
"Beginning on May 1, our talented team will join Square Enix to deliver new, innovative gaming experiences to players across the globe. Between now and then we remain entirely focused on 'Forspoken'. When we established Luminous Productions in 2018, our vision was to make AAA games that fused technology and artistry to deliver completely new play experiences.
Having the chance to do just that has been a dream come true. We appreciate you taking this journey with us and look forward to continuing to create new entertainment and experiences as part of the Square Enix family."
