Rebellion Developments gets Awesome (studios)

Miami Vice - Image 1UK-based video game developer Rebellion Developments, famous for the PlayStation 2 game Sniper Elite, has announced that they have just acquired Awesome Studios, more commonly known as Ignition Entertainment's development studio in Banbury in Oxfordshire. In line with this announcement, Rebellion CEO and Creative Director Jason Kingsley had this to say:

This acquisition takes the Rebellion headcount to 280 full time members of staff. We're fully booked with work until later in the year so these additional highly talented staff will be a valuable addition to the team.


In case people are wondering, Rebellion made several stints into the PlayStation Portable, with their most well-known game being Miami Vice: The Game (2006), which, alongside their Rogue Trooper (2006) PC title, helped push them for a "Developer of the Year" award at last year's TIGA event in the UK. In a strange bit of irony, they were also behind the notoriously mediocre Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and PC. Gamers will best remember Awesome Developments for their development of the PSP game Mercury, along with Pool Paradise for the PS2.
