SuperBot Entertainment has had all ties to Sony cut, the company has confirmed. The developer was formed a while back, specifically to make PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale; a title that brought together many PlayStation characters in a Super Smash Bros. style fighting game. This news comes not too long after layoffs occurred at the studio.
“Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that the working agreement with developer SuperBot Entertainment has amicably ended. We have had a positive working relationship with this talented studio, and wish them the best of success in their next endeavor. PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale and the title’s forthcoming DLC releases will continue to be fully supported by Santa Monica Studio.”
The mentioned DLC is set to come out in the near future, and will see Gravity Rush‘s Kat and Starhawk‘s Emmett join the playable roster. Both are to be offered for free when the first release.
Meanwhile, in a statement released to such outlets like IGN and Kotaku, the developer noted that their relationship with Sony ended on good terms and they’re excited about the ‘next chapter’.
“SuperBot Entertainment can confirm that the relationship with SCEA has ended on good terms. We are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work on with Sony on Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, and are extremely proud of the work we have done. SuperBot Entertainment will continue working on projects that reflect our passion for games and our commitment to creating award winning titles. We are very excited about beginning the next chapter of our future and invite all of our fans and supporters to follow our journey.”
