Timbre Games reopens as independent studio
Timbre Games has reopened its doors as an independent studio, three months after its closure by Sumo Group.
In a post on Linkedin, CEO Joe Nickolls said that Sumo Digital allowed the team to keep the Timbre brand, and supported the studio's transition to its independence. The studio also partnered with Studio Capital Management for its business development, Nickolls said.
The CEO added that more information about Timbre's leadership and its future should be expected in the coming months.
