Game publisher Reforged Studios has acquired Ground Shatter and Extra Mile Studios.
Ground Shatter is led by founder and director James Parker, and is the developer behind the roguelike deck-building game Fights in Tight Spaces.
Extra Mile Studios is led by Bobby Farmer and is known for providing co-development services on Revolution Software's Broken Swords series.
“I was already a huge fan of the games that the Ground Shatter and Extra Mile teams had created, and yet I could see that both teams still had a lot of potential to grow their success even further with the right support around them,” said Reforged Studios CEO Peter van der Watt.
“When we made the list of studios we wanted to be a part of Reforged, Ground Shatter and Extra Mile were at the top of the list. Luckily, both studios were as excited about the possibilities as we were, so we're thrilled to have them join us on our journey.”
Reforged Studios was founded in 2023 by Peter van der Watt (Blazing Griffin), COO Colin Anderson (Denki, Rockstar Games, Epic Games), and CMO Ross Laurie (emerging tech entrepreneur).
The publisher will announce further acquisitions later this year.
