Earlier this week, developer Gas Powered Games cancelled its Wildman<\/em> Kickstarter<\/a> project. Though the developer is well-known for its Dungeon Siege<\/em> games, the Wildman<\/em> Kickstarter was only around half-funded with a few days left to go. The $1.1 million goal did not appear to match consumer demand.<\/p>\n

It now appears that Gas Powered Games had been banking its business on the success of the Kickstarter project.<\/p>\n

Wargaming.net, a developer known for its free-to-play World of Tanks<\/em> MMO, today announced that it has acquired Gas Powered Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWargaming growth in recent years has been tremendous, and we\u2019re looking forward to joining one of the fastest growing gaming companies in the world,\u201d said Chris Taylor, CEO of Gas Powered Games. \u201cI\u2019m sure our experience and expertise will help us contribute even more to Wargaming\u2019s global success.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Belarusian studio praised Gas Powered Games’ previous titles, and stated that Gas Powered Games “will further bolster Wargaming’s push into multiplatform expansion.” No other details of the sale were released.<\/p>\n

\u201cGas Powered Games\u2019 heritage and development pedigree shows us just how valuable an addition Chris and his company will make to the Wargaming family,\u201d said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming.net. \u201cGas Powered Games has a long track record of providing incredibly engaging AAA gaming experiences and we can\u2019t wait to start working with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
