Recently, Blizzard Entertainment stated that it plans to acquire Proletariat, the developer of the magic chicken game "Spellbreak". No. 100 people from the team will join the "World of Warcraft " development team to assist in the development of the upcoming new expansion pack "Giant." Dragon Age".
What’s interesting is that within 24 hours before this news was announced, Proletariat had already announced that because “Spellbreak” failed to reach a long-term operation scale, as an independent studio, it had to choose to cease service in early 2023. It is not known whether the two incidents are related, but according to foreign media sources, the two companies have begun to cooperate since May.
It is understood that "Spellbreak" is a chicken-eating game based on magic battle gameplay. The game supported cross-platform online play on the first day it was launched, and it attracted more than 10 million players within 4 years of operation.
For Blizzard , this is also the largest one-to-one acquisition transaction in the past ten years. In addition to Proletariat, Activision studio Vicarious Visions was also merged into Blizzard in January 2021 and was responsible for the development of the " Diablo " series of products.
