Epic Games cannot complain about the lack of funds, so the corporation is willing to invest money and take over new studios. The newest addition will take care of creating content for the world’s most popular Battle Royale.
Studio Aquiris will no longer be an independent team – Epic Games decided to buy the company and change its name to … Epic Games Brasil. The amount that the corporation had to spend on the creators of Horizon Chase has not been confirmed, but it was hardly a major expense for the authors of Unreal Engine.
Epic Games Brasil will be the company’s first team in Latin America and now the developers will be developing content for Fortnite. The creators are to continue to develop their own items, but we can suspect that the most important task for the creators will be to support the main branch of Epic Games.
We’ve seen firsthand the impressive talents of the Aquiris team in creating innovative games that garner global attention, and we’re excited to welcome them to Epic Games,” said Alain Tascan, executive vice president of game development at Epic.
Epic Games Brasil can help Epic Games attract talent from Latin America who do not want to move to, for example, the United States and Europe.
Horizon Chase Turbo debuted in 2018 and the title received ratings of 78-82%.
