During today's evening, a really interesting and unpredictable news has come forward. The famous company Epic Games, owner of the PC platform Epic Games Store, as well as the author of one of the most successful games in videogame history, Fortnite, has recently announced that it has acquired the software house Mediatonic. For those unfamiliar with the latter, just think that one of the most recent and most successful games is a product made by the house in question. We are talking about Fall Guys, hilarious and irreverent online multiplayer game that combines the classic mechanics of Battle Royale (only one will remain alive) to the funniest minigames possible and unimaginable.
To give the news through official channels was the same house that bought the studio, which immediately wanted to clarify that the game will not suffer unwelcome drifts due to possible licenses on other platforms, but rather this move will give even more thickness to an almost perfect game, providing more capabilities to the Mediatonic software house through new financial and physical resources. Among these we already know some additions to functions such as the account system, team versus team modes, cross-play, and many others that will come later.
Such a title certainly gives an even more important depth to the catalog of Epic Games Store, adding to strategically similar products such as Fortnite, Rocket League and others. It also appears that not only Mediatonic has been acquired, but also Tonic Games, company close to Mediatonic. Months ago, Epic Games had announced that next year the company would make large acquisitions, and apparently, this is only the first of a series of strategic moves that began with the takeover of Psyonix, the development house of Rocket League. Who knows what other moves the company has in store.
HUGE NEWS! @Mediatonic are pleased to announce that we've joined the @EpicGames family!
What does this mean? I'm glad you asked!
