PSNStores: "Lucid Games, a developer formed by staff of the defunct Bizarre Creations and the studio behind PSVita discovery app Travel Bug have announced a new game for the platform. Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery is an episodic puzzle-adventure title starring Jacob, a young boy who just arrived at Camp Eagle. Jacob likes to keep to himself so rather than spending time with the other campers he’s out exploring the wilderness, and that’s when he stumbles upon the legendary Bigfoot."
Tencent subsidiary LightSpeed Studios has acquired Lucid Games, the companies announced.
That's a pretty big bite into a company that has a history of supporting a lot of major players.
Oh, absolutely, but it's also a company you can buy and have access to each company on a more intimate level. They know how to program for all the consoles at a specific first-party level. It's kind of like having a support company for all your other dev studios.
The studio behind Destruction Allstars, and got pulled off of the Twisted Metal reboot?
I wonder how Tencent will impact them.
Colin Berry (Game Director at Lucid Games) and John McLaughlin (Senior Producer at XDEV) are two veteran developers with more than 25 years of experience in video games. They worked on Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed, James Bond 007: Blood Stone, Wipeout HD, Wipeout Pulse, Wipeout Pure, and even Motostorm. They recently released their new PS5 exclusive game Destruction AllStars and they talked with Sector.sk about its past, present and future.
Wushu Studios is partnering with Lucid Games on Lucid's upcoming title Switchblade, as well as multiple other future projects. Wushu is still continuing work on their new science-fiction IP.
