Le géant du jeu Atari élargit son portefeuille avec une acquisition

Le label Infogrames d'Atari acquiert la franchise Surgeon Simulator

Atari, à travers son label Infogrames relancé, a annoncé l'acquisition de la célèbre franchise Surgeon Simulator de tinyBuild Inc. Infogrames, décrite par Atari comme une branche d'édition de titres en dehors de sa marque principale, connaît une résurgence après une période de dormance . Cette acquisition marque une étape significative dans les efforts continus d'Atari pour reconstruire sa présence dans l'industrie du jeu vidéo.

Infogrames, un nom synonyme de développement et de distribution de jeux dans les années 80 et 90 (responsable de titres comme Alone in the Dark, Backyard Baseball et Putt- Putt série), a été rebaptisée Atari en 2003. Après la faillite d'Atari en 2013, l'entreprise se réorganise et intègre Infogrames dans sa structure actuelle. Cette dernière acquisition fait suite au récent rachat par Atari de Totally Reliable Delivery Service, renforçant ainsi le portefeuille d'Infogrames.

Infogrames prévoit d'étendre la franchise Surgeon Simulator à travers de nouvelles versions numériques et physiques, ainsi que des suites et collections potentielles. Geoffroy Châteauvieux, Manager d'Infogrames, a souligné l'attrait durable de la franchise, notant son gameplay unique et son humour noir comme facteurs clés de l'acquisition.

La série Surgeon Simulator, développée à l'origine par Bossa Studios, se concentre sur le chirurgien hilarant et incompétent, Nigel Burke, et ses diverses mésaventures chirurgicales. Commençant par les opérations d'un patient nommé « Bob », le gameplay original du jeu s'est étendu sur diverses plates-formes, notamment PC, Mac, iOS, Android, PS4 et Nintendo Switch, avec des versions VR également disponibles. Bien qu'aucune suite directe n'ait été annoncée par Bossa Studios depuis Surgeon Simulator 2 (2020/2021), l'acquisition d'Atari suggère que de futurs versements sont une forte possibilité. Cette acquisition fait suite à l'achat par tinyBuild en 2022 de plusieurs IP de Bossa Studios, dont Surgeon Simulator et I Am Bread.

Les rumeurs sur Switch 2 suggèrent un "été de Switch 2" l'année prochaine

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
