EverQuest Next. Sony Online Entertainment/Daybreak Game Company
Sony Online Entertainment, the division of Sony that creates massively multiplayer games like EverQuest, PlanetSide 2, and DC Universe Online, has been sold to New York-based investment firm Columbus Nova, and will be rebranded as Daybreak Game Company, it said today.
“Can’t wait to make Xbox One games!” said Sony Online president John Smedley, who will be staying in his role at Daybreak, on Twitter following the news. As a Sony division, the company made PlayStation and computer games, but nothing for rival game consoles.
SOE had just launched H1Z1, an open-world zombie game in the style of the popular DayZ, on Steam via Early Access. It still plans to release EverQuest Next , a new version of its most popular MMO.
Smedley said in today’s statement that Daybreak’s focus will be “bringing our portfolio to new platforms.”
Daybreak’s new owner Columbus Nova purchased the game studio Harmonix from its corporate parent Viacom in 2010.
