Marvel’s Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games has been snapped up by PlayStation.
The studio has long had a close relationship with Sony, and is famed for its work on the Ratchet & Clank and Resistance series, although in the past has also worked with Xbox (for Xbox One launch title Sunset Overdrive) and has recently dabbled in PC and mobile games.
But it’s with PlayStation 4 exclusive Spider-Man that Insomniac has found itself again firmly in the spotlight. Today’s announcement by Sony notes the blockbuster Marvel game has now shifted an impressive 13.2m copies.
Insomniac Games will now be a part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Worldwide Studios, alongside other first-party studios such as Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and Guerilla, among others.
