Brighton-based FuturLab, the developer behind acclaimed efforts like Velocity, has signed a deal with Sony to create games for PS Vita, which Sony will fund throughout 2013.
As part of the agreement, FuturLab retains ownership of the IPs created.
Said James Marsden, FuturLab’s managing director:
We’re incredibly excited to be working closely with PlayStation over the next year, bringing our particular brand of twitchy fun to the PS Vita. Sony has provided a great package that means we retain full control of our IP, which is a perfect deal for us.
SCEE senior business development manager Shahid Ahmad added:
We’re particularly pleased to be working with FuturLab to bring new and exciting games to PlayStation Vita. FuturLab has a unique and fun approach to entertainment and we see their games as being a fantastic addition to the ever growing catalogue of PS Vita games.
FuturLab was heavily involved in the launch of PlayStation Mobile, having ready three titles at launch for the service which spans all PlayStation-branded devices, including smartphones and tablets.
