Video game developer Epic Games has acquired Brazil-based game developer studio AQUIRIS to boost the online game Fortnite. Financial details were not disclosed.
“This acquisition builds upon an investment that Epic made in AQUIRIS in early 2022,” Epic Games said.
The AQUIRIS team will be the foundation of Epic Games Brazil, the first Epic studio in Latin America.
“With the creation of Epic Games Brazil, we look forward to tapping into the immense talent the region has to offer and establishing our presence in Latin America,” Alain Tascan, Executive Vice President of Game Development at Epic Games, said in a statement.
AQUIRIS, founded in 2007, is best known for award-winning titles such as Wonderbox and the Horizon Chase franchise.
The AQUIRIS development team will collaborate with Epic Games to produce groundbreaking content and social experiences for Fortnite.
