One of the best known features of Tencent is your ability to buy and invest in different companies. The Chinese company is one of the most important in the industry, thanks to fantasy works or for getting Sumo Digital.
Now, Tencent has announced that Turtle Rock Studios becomes his property. We are talking about the developer who has offered us the recent zombie mayhem of Back 4 Blood, in addition to other works such as Left 4 Dead or Evolve. The independence of the study work will be the same as until now.
Both Phil Robb and Chris Ashton, founding members, will continue to lead the projects that emerge. Of course, this acquisition will have no effect on Back 4 Blood, which was published by Warner Bros. Games.
“We are all looking forward to joining the Tencent family of studios,” said Steve Goldstein, president and CEO of Turtle Rock Studios. “Tencent’s Outstanding Partners, Global Reach, Deep Gaming Knowledge, and Unprecedented Support help us create the kinds of ambitious games we dream of, while allowing us to preserve our autonomy and independent spirit “, explains the person in charge.
Financial details have not been disclosed of this agreement. Some of the investments that Tencent made in recent times have been in Yager, the studio that created Spec Ops: The Line or in Dontnod, parents of Life is Strange.
