Sumo Digital Acquires EVE Valkyrie Developer
EVE: Valkyrie developer CCP Newcastle is joining Sumo Digital, developers of Crackdown 3 and Dead Island 2.
The announcement came today from Sumo Digital, which is bringing in 34 new employees from CCP Newcastle and renaming the studio Sumo Digital Newcastle in the United Kingdom. The news comes a few months after CCP announced that the developer would be shutting down VR development within the studio.
Sumo Digital is known for their large variety of different products, which ranges from Sonic All-Stars Racing to Crackdown 3's single player. They were picked by publisher Deep Silver to develop Dead Island 2 after removing the game from Yaeger's development in 2015.
Crackdown 3 is scheduled for release on Xbox One and PC in 2018.
