In a move that hasn’t really surprised anybody at all, Sony announced today via their European PlayStation Blog that Media Molecule – developers of the smash hit LittleBigPlanet – has been purchased by Sony Computer Entertainment for an undisclosed sum.
Said Sony Europe boss Michael Denny, “The most important thing is that nothing will change from your perspective; Media Molecule will simply continue to make great games. Welcoming Media Molecule into the PlayStation family will allow us to better support their future titles and ambitions.”
Media Molecule commented on the sale via an official press release.
“Since Media Molecule’s inception, we’ve had a uniquely close relationship with Sony. Over the years they have consistently shown their dedication to Creative Gaming and Media Molecule, not only through their support of the company, but their willingness to take risks and embrace our often unusual approach and ideas.” said Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule. “What we’ve achieved already with LittleBigPlanet has proved this to us and we’re excited by this new chapter of innovation and creative gaming, for all involved.”
Not bad for a studio with only one game under their belt. But that’s what happens when that one game is a good one.
