Sucker Punch joins a prestigious group of studios of Sony, headed by Shuhei Yoshida. Chris Zimmerman, Sucker Punch, co-founder reveals a lot more details about the acquisition in this interview with Gamespot.

He says that the acquisition wont affect their day-to-day operations.

“I don’t think it will have much of an effect on our day-to-day operations. Everyone that’s been here for the past dozen years is still here; we still have the same goals in mind. We’re still working on the same things. So the day-to-day isn’t going to change, I think. We’re expecting this is going to put us in a position where we can continue to work on innovative genre-defining content.”

He mentioned more as to how it all went down.

“And we’ve really enjoyed the people we work with at Sony; we enjoy the process. And we’ve enjoyed the support we’ve gotten from the corporation in terms of marketing. So every time we come back to do a new game, the decision has been obvious. We wanted to come back and do a game with our partners at Sony.”

“Why are we pretending that we’re going to do something with someone else at some point? We should just make this a permanent arrangement.”

Sucker Punch is at work on an undisclosed project, but they wouldn’t reveal whether it is Infamous 3 or something else. Expect an announcement at the next E3 expo.

It has been a long time coming, but Sony finally acquires Sucker Punch. Yes, the studio that made the amazing Infamous games this gen.

Brian Fleming, a manager at the studio, was understandably excited, “This in a strange way feels like it’s your longtime girlfriend you’re getting hitched to – not a lot is going to change,” he said. “It’s the same people that we’ve been working with for 10 years.”

Sucker Punch has also developed the Sly Cooper series of games for the Playstation 2. “They have produced some very key franchises for us,” said Scott Rohde, senior vice president of product development at Sony’s Worldwide Studios America.

“We have a very close relationship with them,” Rohde added.
