Devolver Digital has acquired Astroneer developer System Era Softworks, the companies announced.
In the announcement, Devolver Digital reveals that eight years ago it made the “terrible mistake” of almost publishing Astroneer (as opposed to actually publishing it). But despite their separate paths, Devolver Digital and System Era Softworks remained mutual admirers as each company grew.
The announcement continues, “Today, after almost a decade of mutual admiration and friendship, Devolver Digital and System Era declare their undying love for one another in the only way they know how: by turning down the lights, turning up the heat, and forming a strategic business relationship.”
