Indie publisher Reforged Studios has acquired South African developer Yellow Lab Games.
As reported by Gamesindustry.biz, the acquisition was sealed for an undisclosed sum. Yellow Lab Games will continue operating independently and is currently developing Metavoidal, a roguelite RPG for PC.
Reforged Studios operates in the UK and Malta, developing and publishing games for PC, console, and mobile. This latest acquisition follows the recent acquisition of Ground Shatter and Extra Mile studios in August.
New opportunities
“Growing up in South Africa, I have always been aware of the incredible game development talent the country hosts,” said Reforged CEO and founder Peter Van Der Watt. “Yellow Lab Games have been on my radar for some time, especially since seeing the positive reaction to Metavoidal, their first foray into PC and console gaming.
Yellow Lab Games’ head of studio, David Hecker, added: “We are delighted to be entering the Reforged Studios fold alongside the esteemed Extra Mile Studios and Ground Shatter.”
“This acquisition allows us to continue to produce great games but also allows us to tap into the extensive business development and operations expertise that we would not have had direct access to before.”
