CD Projekt RED parent company CD Projekt has acquired The Molasses Flood, developer on Drake Hollow and The Flame in the Flood, both companies announced.
“We’re always on the lookout for teams who make games with heart,” says Adam Kiciński, President and Joint CEO, CD PROJEKT. “The Molasses Flood share our passion for video game development, they’re experienced, quality-oriented, and have great technological insight. I’m convinced they will bring a lot of talent and determination to the Group.”
“From the inception of The Molasses Flood, it was our goal to create games that touch and inspire people,” says Forrest Dowling, Studio Head at The Molasses Flood. “When CD PROJEKT approached us about the possibility of working together, we saw an incredible opportunity to reach a much wider audience through a collaboration with a company we love, creating games in worlds we love. We could not be more excited to continue our mission with the support of CD PROJEKT and their incredibly talented team.”
While CD Projekt has acquired The Molasses Flood, the developer will keep their current identity and will not be merged with any of CD Projekt’s existing teams. The studio is working on their own “ambitious project”, which is based on one of CD Projekt’s IPs. Details for this new game are coming at a later date.
