Sony has bought Nixxes to add to the PlayStation Studios roster.
The gaming giant - which recently brought Housemarque on board - has acquired the Netherlands-based company, which previously worked on the likes of 'Marvel's Avengers', 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided' and 'Tomb Raider'.
PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst said in a statement: "I highly respect Nixxes and am excited for this very experienced team to become part of the world-class development community at SIE.
"They have a passion for improving games and for delivering the best possible experience for gamers.
"Nixxes will be a strong asset for everyone across PlayStation Studios, helping our teams focus on their most important goal, which is to create unique PlayStation content at the best possible quality."
And Nixxes founder Jurjen Katsman promised to deliver "the highest-quality gameplay experiences" for PS gamers, while the team is already "excited" to collaborate with a studio with as much of a reach as PlayStation.
He commented: "We can't wait to get to work and are so excited to bring our technical and development expertise to an IP powerhouse like PlayStation Studios.
"We're looking forward to working with some of the most talented teams in the industry to deliver the highest-quality gameplay experiences for PlayStation fans."
