Starbreeze Expands With Overkill Acquisition

April 19, 2012 by Ron Taylor

Starbreeze picks up the developers of Payday.

EA may have sent Syndicate to die, but Starbreeze is doing just fine. In addition to acquiring Payday developers, Overkill Software, the Darkness-studio has three of it's own new titles in the works and is allowing Overkill to continue it's post-launch support of Payday alongside development of a sequel.

The new internallly developed projects, according to Starbreeze CEO, Mikael Nermark, are P13, a downloadable title forPC, PSN, and XBL that's also a collaboration with Swedish film maker, Josef Fares, Cold Mercury, an F2P game that evolves the co-op concepts of Syndicate and a third completely secret title.

Starbreeze is a great team, so It's great news to see they have much to do. It's also always wonderful when a creativity-friendly acquisition happens. (Fun fact: While they're an independant, usually contract studio, Starbreeze is also publicly traded.)
