Publisher Devolver Digital has acquired Serious Sam and The Talos Principle developer Croteam, the two have announced.
In a joint statement, the companies spoke on their joint history together, from Croteam first getting the original Serious Sam signed with publishing label Gathering of Developers who some of their staff later breaking off to form Devolver when the latter company formed in 2009. They then reconnected with Croteam by Serious Sam 3 in 2011 and the two have been together ever since, most recently releasing Serious Sam 4 last month.
“What’s certain is that our future together is ultra exciting with new projects like The Talos Principle 2, more Serious Sam games, and original IP from Croteam and the Croteam Incubator studios," the statement reads. “Croteam will of course keep total creative freedom and Devolver Digital gets to keep making dumb recommendations that Croteam just ignores – we prefer it that way.”
“Both companies are thrilled to share this news and hope that you’re as excited about our future together as we are – it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Serious Sam 4 is available now for PC and Google Stadia.
Devolver has acquired Croteam.
Maybe Croteam has acquired Devolver.
Either way, we’re married now. https://t.co/7nzjKmIYkZ
