They are focusing on building their empire, by acquiring small studios.
This is much better investment, than a big company/publisher.
Very cheap money and can net you a lot of smaller studios.
Downside is that they don't have big IPs.

That's Firesprite.
It's Firesprite. Firewalk is a new studio and they are working on their first project right now

I googled what games they made. So far none publicly told. The company just got up and running and even raised venture capital money in 2021. In 2021, they already signed a publishing deal with Sony. So these two companies have been joined at the hip right at formation.

This seems like another Haven Studios, where the developer was already working on a Sony funded game, and Sony just decided to buy them outright. Sony almost certainly already owned the IP of the game they were working on so I guess this is more of a talent acquisition thing.

It will be some shitty online GaaS title that will never reach the likes of Warhawk, MAG & Killzone 2.
Sony said this was their focus going forward.

So Jimbo knows that he is probably not blocking ABK so he is not bother hiding acquisitions anymore?
Because this is the same right?

Their game must be coming along very nicely.
We will surely see it in the next PS Showcase, likely next month.

Oh wow. I remember all the speculation around this studio because we weren't sure what their relationship was with Probably Monsters. These are former Bungie devs, if I recall correctly. At least the ones who started the studio. I have a feeling that most studios Sony has a partnership with are going to be bought.

You need several GaaS in order for one to succeed.

Building studios from the ground up with their expertise and foundations in place.
That's how you do it.

According to Sony's slide last year, I think they had 10 GAAS in development. And pretty sure that excluded Bungie because they werent even bought yet. Out of that 10, it's logical MLB, Factions and GT are GAAS.
So that leaves 7 unknown GAAS games.

imagine if they merged this ex-bungie studio with bungie.
