Player First Games may not be a well-known name in the gaming world, but they did release their first game, MultiVersus, back in May. The studio will continue to be led by its co-founders Tony Huynh and Chris White, who both have a wealth of experience in the industry.
Warner Bros. Games president David Haddad expressed his excitement about the acquisition, stating that they have worked closely with Player First Games over the years and are thrilled to welcome the talented team to their family. Huynh also shared his excitement about joining Warner Bros. Games and mentioned that they will be focusing on the development of MultiVersus moving forward.
This acquisition comes on the heels of the news about potential layoffs at NetherRealm Studios, particularly impacting the mobile team. It’s reassuring to see that Player First Games will continue their work on MultiVersus under the Warner Bros. Games umbrella.
