| Microsoft purchases Lionhead |
|
Not surprisingly to anyone following the consolidation that has been occuring in the industry, Microsoft has purchased Molyneux's Lionhead. Here's a snip from <a href="http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=15934" target="_blank">GamesIndustry.biz</a>:<blockquote><em>Microsoft and Lionhead previously worked together on Xbox title Fable, which has sold over two million units to date between the original game and the updated Fable: The Lost Chapters, making it into the best-selling role-playing franchise on the Xbox platform.
<br>
<br>"We could not be more excited about being part of MGS," Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux commented in a statement today. "They have long supported our creative vision, and this teamwork resulted in the hugely successful 'Fable' franchise."
<br>
<br>"This acquisition gives Lionhead the stability and opportunity to focus on creating world-class next generation titles," he continued. "We are joining some of the most incredible studios in the industry, the combined talent of which will truly take next generation gaming to a new level."</em></blockquote> |
