Thank you Hermen and hello everyone in the PlayStation community!
Founded in 2020 and led by myself and co-founders Nadjim Adjir and Michael McManus, Savage Game Studios was born out of our many years of mobile game development experience spanning several global IPs great success. Our guiding vision is a creative space where experimentation and risk-taking are not cautiously avoided, but eagerly embraced. We’ve all worked at major studios and while respecting the advantage of abundant resources, we wanted to remain small and agile so we could call our own shots. .
“So why then,” you might think to yourself, “are you in PlayStation Studios?” We made this deal because we believe that the management of PlayStation Studios respects our vision for how we can best operate and succeed, and because they are also unafraid to take the opportunity. . All of that, plus the PlayStation’s ability to tap into the great IP portfolio and the fact that we’ll all benefit from the kind of support only they can provide… The harder question to answer would be… is “why not?”
On behalf of everyone at Savage Game Studios, thank you for having us. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to!
