Ubisoft today announced that it has completed the acquisition of French developer Tiwak, developers behind the canned Xbox 3D platformer ‘Tork’.<br><br>Originally scheduled to be published by Microsoft Game Studios, Microsoft took the opportunity to drop it from its release schedule last year so that they could focus on other titles in its line-up – such as VooDoo Vince then…<br><br>"We are very pleased with Tiwak becoming part of the Ubisoft group, as it will give us the means to carry on our work in the world of top-quality video games creation," said president and CEO of Tiwak, Yann Le Tensorer. "Nowadays, creating hits requires considerable resources, which Tiwak is no longer able to gather. We truly believe that by joining the Ubisoft group, this will allow Tiwak to reach a higher level in terms of quantity and quality, thanks to the expertise and the scale of a first rank group."<br> <br>"I am particularly happy about this acquisition, which fulfils our wishes to expand our production studios," added Yves Guillemot, president and CEO of Ubisoft. "Being enriched with competencies of experts with high creative potentials, Ubisoft will be able to keep on providing its customers with even more innovative and captivating games." <br><br>However it’s currently undecided as to whether Ubisoft’s acquisition will save ‘Tork’ or not; both companies refused to comment about the future of the Xbox title during the financial announcement, so it looks as though we’ll have to wait a little longer to see.
