This means that the company will instead work with other companies to develop games based on their franchises much like it did when it partnered with SEGA for Sonic Racing. "For over 20 years, we have built an enviable reputation as a trusted and respected game developer working with the most prestigious partners in the world on their commercially and creatively successful games. More recently, we embraced opportunities to develop our own IP, taking on ambitious and creative projects that showcased the incredible talent of our teams. This journey has fostered remarkable creativity and innovation, and we are deeply proud of all we have achieved together. However, as the industry evolves, we must balance our creative ambitions and the commercial realities to ensure the long-term stability and success of our business. After careful consideration, we have made the strategic decision to focus Sumo Digital exclusively on development services for partners – our core strength and the foundation of our success."
