Ground Shatter is led by founder and director James Parker and is the developer behind the roguelike deck-builder Fights in Tight Spaces.
Extra Mile Studios is led by Bobby Farmer and is known for providing co-developer services on Revolution Software's Broken Swords series.
“I was already a big fan of the games the teams in Ground Shatter and Extra Mile had built, yet I could see that both teams still had great potential to build on their success even further with the right support around them,” he said. Reforged Studios CEO Peter van der Watt.
“When we made the list of studios we wanted to be a part of Reforged, Ground Shatter and Extra Mile were at the very top. Fortunately, both studios were as excited about the possibilities as we were, so we're thrilled to have them join us on our journey. “
Reforged Studios was founded in 2023 by Peter van der Watt (Blazing Griffin), COO Colin Anderson (Denki, Rockstar Games, Epic Games) and CCO Ross Laurie (emerging tech entrepreneur).
Further acquisitions will be announced by the publisher later in the year.
