Ilari Kuittinen, Co-founder of Housemarque said that this was a day, "26 years in the making" and their strong ties with PlayStation started with Super Stardust HD on the PS3. He also said that with the backing of a large brand such as PlayStation, the studio hopes, "o usher in more lasting memories and exhilarating titles for the next quarter century and beyond."
"We are so excited to finally join the PlayStation Studios family! This gives our studio a clear future and a stable opportunity to continue delivering on gameplay centric approaches, while still experimenting with new methods of narrative delivery and pushing the boundaries of this modern artform," said Kuittinen.
"Locally here in Helsinki, this also means that we will officially expand the PlayStation family to a growing industry hub and secure the legacy of the oldest game studio in Finland," he added.
