Improbable, the companies announced. The deal is expected to close on June 2.
Behavior Interactive plans to leverage Midwinter Entertainment’s “deep experience and talent,” welcoming the opportunity to channel their skills into “exciting and original intellectual property.” Midwinter Entertainment will also become a key asset of its new parent company.
“Behaviour was not just looking for any studio, but the right studio,” said Behavior Interactive president and executive producer Remi Racine in a press release. “Chemistry was essential and our similar values, cultures, and our commitment to creating games that push boundaries and defy expectations make Midwinter a perfect fit. This is an important move during a milestone year for Behaviour, which will mark its 30th anniversary in September, and further evidence of the impressive growth that has seen our revenues more than double since 2019 and our team reach nearly 1,000 full-time employees.”
