Tencent has acquired Inflexion Games studio from Improbable
Recently, Improbable announces the sale of Inflexion Games studio to Tencent. Inflexion Games CEO Aaryn Flynn worked on Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Star Wars: The Old Republic will continue to lead operations. Aaryn Flynn will continue to lead the studio after the acquisition by Tencent to develop the shared world survival production game “Nightingale”, which is also the studio’s first game and will join Tencent’s global game brand Level Infinite.
“As announced at the end of January, and while we focus our efforts on accelerating in the metaverse, we want to make sure that the games developed by our internal studios benefit from the support of publishers with leading track records of bringing games to market. So we couldn’t have hoped to have found a better partner than Tencent for Inflexion Games and for Nightingale,” said Improbable CEO, Herman Narula. “We look forward to our continued collaboration with Aaryn and the Inflexion Games team as they explore potential use of our technology offerings for Nightingale and beyond.”
The deal is understood to have been in the works for some time, as Improbable is looking to launch first-party game development and focus on other aspects of the business. Improbable CEO Herman Narula looks forward to continuing to work with Aaryn Flynn and Inflexion Games to explore more possibilities with Improbable’s technology products in Nightingale and beyond.
