Sony introduces Third Party Production team to bring their IPs “to new places”

Sony has just announced the formation of a new Third Party Production team whose purpose will be “to bring their beloved IPs to some new places”. New IPs, ports, and localized releases are all planned for PlayStation platforms.

The Third Party Production team’s first title is Borderlands 2 for the PlayStation Vita which was announced last week.

Hello Gamers.

Moments ago, Adam Boyes introduced the latest addition to the Third Party Relations family at Playstation, a new group that I get to captain called Third Party Production. The Third Party Relations team at PlayStation is well known for developing solid relationships across this industry, and this new group will work closely with our publishing partners to bring their beloved IPs to some new places. This means you’ll see even more great games on PlayStation platforms, including new IP’s, ports, and localized products. In addition, our partners who are currently in production will have us as a resource to strengthen their development process, ensuring quality and consistency on all Third Party projects.

I’m really excited for our team to explore new opportunities on behalf of PlayStation. Even though we’re brand new to PlayStation, we’ve got years of experience in this industry already under our belt. We already have a project underway, the recently announced PS Vita version of Borderlands 2. We are extremely excited to work with Iron Galaxy Studios on this project and I cannot wait to show and tell you more down the road.

I will share more with you as our adventures continue and new games are made available.

This is great to hear, hopefully we’ll get more classic titles brought back, more games from other developers, and more equal support across Sony’s platforms. The resurgence of the Vita alone is enough to get any PlayStation gamer excited for the future.

What about you? What titles do you want Sony to bring to their systems?
