Ukraine-based game publisher Room 8 has acquired Seattle-based art studio, Massive Black. The purpose of the acquisition was announced as expanding Room 8’s US operations.
Massive Black was founded in 2004. The company has produced a variety of art materials for companies such as EA, Blizzard, Unity, and Amazon. The company provides services to other studios in art concepts, art direction, and visual storytelling, especially cinematics.
On the subject, Sviatoslav Pohrebnoi from Room 8 said:
“Massive Black joining the Room 8 Group portfolio is another step forward in our ongoing global expansion, including new offices, teams, and service offerings. Our deal with Massive Black is a part of our M&A growth strategy, which we are keen to continue.”
Room 8 has also recently opened offices in Spain, Poland, Serbia, and Romania in line with its expansion policy. The addition of Massive Black to Room 8 means the company now has an extension in the US.
