At this time, everyone flocks to acquisitions in the field of video games if they have capital.

The Polish company CD Projekt has announced that it has bought the American studio The Molasses Flood, which has Drake Hollow and The Flame in the Flood.
The Boston team was founded in 2014 by some former BioShock, Halo, Guitar Hero and Rock Band developers. Adam Kiciński, President of the CD Project, said about the acquisition that he is constantly looking for teams that make games with the heart. “The Molasses Flood share our passion for video game development, are experienced and have great technological insight. I am convinced that they will bring a lot of talent and determination to our group, “added Kiciński.
The Boston studio will work on its own ambitious project, which is based on one of the CD Project brands.
The head of the American team also praises the connection. “Since the inception of The Molasses Flood, our goal has been to create games that touch and inspire people,” said Forrest Dowling. “When CD Projekt appealed to us with the opportunity to work together, we saw an incredible opportunity to reach a much wider audience by working with the company we love, creating games in the worlds we love,” he said, adding that they could not be more excited about continuing their mission. with the support of the CD Project and its incredibly talented team.
The Molasses Flood are to work closely with the RED Project CD, but at the same time retain their existing identity and will not merge with existing teams. The Boston studio will work on its own ambitious project, which is based on one of the CD Project brands. But we should learn the details about it in the future.

A novelty, of course, along its own axis boasted and The Molasses Flood studio. According to him, this is exciting news. Forrest Dowling once again stressed that he would create a new game within the existing IP. Therefore, they will also hire other developers. At the same time, however, he says that they will continue to make games according to the same principles as before. Games with hearts and rich gameplay.
Here, too, there was an assurance that the team would not be renamed and would only get the adjective that it was a CD Project studio. When the developers began negotiating with the Polish giant, they were assured that they would not simply be absorbed, but should keep their own culture and continue to grow. Forrest Dowling would like to reveal what they are working on, but he has to wait. In the meantime, however, it will expand its ranks. At the moment, the company is looking for at least eight other people.
Terms of trade were not disclosed. This is the second major acquisition of the CD Project this year. In March, the company announced the purchase of the Canadian studio Digital Scapes, which was already helping with Cyberpunk 2077.
