Activision’s had quite a run with the Guitar Hero franchise since acquiring Red Octane a while back, and today the company made another move to expand in the music genre by acquiring UK developer FreeStyleGames.
“This is an exciting time for our company and great recognition of our success to date that Activision Publishing would look to welcome us to their studio roster,” said Jamie Jackson of FreeStyleGames. “Our goal has always been to deliver the most compelling entertainment experiences, and with the infrastructure, support and financial resources of Activision Publishing, we will be able to set our goals even higher than they are today.”
Under Activision, FreeStyleGames will be tabbed with developing UK-localized content for the Guitar Hero games, and is also at work on an unannounced new game in the music genre.
