Sony's PlayStation acquires Firewalk Studios for innovative multiplayer game development.

Sony has acquired Firewalk Studios to develop an "original AAA multiplayer game" for PlayStation 5 and PC. The move is part of Sony's recent push into multiplayer games, which includes the acquisition of Destiny maker Bungie and Haven Interactive Studios. Firewalk Studios is led by former executives from Bungie and Activision, and Sony's head of PlayStation Studios has expressed excitement about the team's ambitions. Sony is looking to expand its multiplayer offerings, which could be important in light of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
