Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has secured a deal with LittleBigPlanet Vita developer Double Eleven, which will see the UK-based studio produce games exclusively for PlayStation platforms.
Founded last year by ex-Rockstar Leeds staff, Double Eleven was announced as the brains behind the Vita iteration of LittleBigPlanet at E3 2011. The studio will continue working on the game before starting development on new titles for Sony platforms, with a focus said to be on Vita software.
Speaking on the deal, SCE Worldwide Studios Europe senior vice president, Michael Denny, commented, “Double Eleven are one of the most exciting developers to emerge onto the development scene in recent years, their technical expertise makes them a great fit for LittleBigPlanet on PSVITA and we’ve very pleased with the progress the team have made on this hugely anticipated title.”
“For us to become strong partners with Sony at such a crucial stage in our own development underlines the unswerving commitment we have made to the quality of our production, added Double Eleven CEO, Lee Hutchinson.
“It is a testament to the hard work of all the exceptional team here at Double Eleven and we're delighted that this agreement will help our company grow and flourish, working on prestigious titles, on leading-edge platforms. The opportunity to work so closely with Sony is simply fantastic and we look forward to a truly exciting new phase in our own development, with the absolute intention to become a world-class studio.”
