We’ve had the pleasure to work with some really great people on some really great games this year. As award season ramps up, it’s pure joy to see some of the titles we worked on popping up as nominees across several award shows and several categories.
I’m super excited in particular about two of the titles we co-developed being nominated for PlayStation Game of the Year in the 2021 Golden Joystick awards. ‘Returnal’ from HouseMarque and ‘Kena: Bridge of Spirits’ from Ember Labs are both in contention for the award this year.
Why is PlayStation GOTY such an exciting category to us, you may ask?
We have a deep history working with Sony, especially with emerging tech. Before Sony PSVR was publicly announced, we were already developing StarBlood Arena as a first party title with Sony’s San Diego Studio. We like working on weird, new stuff with them.
We jumped at the opportunity to get our hands on a PS5 dev kit as soon as developers could. We started learning all we could about this marvelous piece of hardware, hoping to find some cool projects to get work on!
We were honored to contribute to several PS5 titles at or around launch, such as SackBoy: A Big Adventure, Destruction All-Stars, Returnal and Kena: Bridge of Spirits to name a few. So when these titles are recognized, it’s really exciting for us.
Our relationships with Sony and all the amazing studios we have teamed up with on PlayStation titles means the world to us. We couldn’t be happier or more proud of all they are accomplishing right now and we wish them all the best of luck this award season and ALWAYS!
