“When we founded Luminous Productions in 2018, our ambition was to create AAA games that blended technology and creativity to give totally new play experiences,” the company said on Twitter. “Getting the opportunity to do so has been a dream come true.”
Square Enix said in a statement that it is integrating the Luminous team as “part of the company’s efforts to further improve the competitive capability of the group’s development studios, a target outlined under its current medium-term business plan.” It went on to say that Luminous is “not just with AAA title production capability, but also with technological competence in areas such as gaming engine development. The combination of the two organisations will improve the Group’s capabilities to generate HD games.”
