Focus Home Interactive, the publisher of several high-profile PlayStation titles, including A Plague Tale: Innocence and SnowRunner, is now Focus Entertainment. The brand change consolidated a number of acquisitions from the firm, which saw them observed as Deck 13 Interactive and DotEmu.
“As of now, the Focus Entertainment brand covers all of Focus’ activities, with the term Entertainment representing the desire to diversify its games, products, services and revenue streams, ”a statement said. “Entertainment also emphasizes the ambition to offer players around the world unique experiences, backed by an editorial policy that stands out through innovative concepts, an inventive gameplay and original worlds that transcend the boundaries of video games.”
The French firm was founded in 1996 and has worked with many studios over the past 25 years, including Giants Software on Farming Simulator. However, long-standing partners like Cyanide have been acquired by rivals like Nacon, so it’s no surprise that Focus Entertainment has become a little more aggressive in recent years and is starting to establish its own network of affiliate developers.
