Telltale, a Los Angeles, CA-based narrative game development studio and publisher, acquired London, UK-based interactive video technology company Flavourworks.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
Founded in 2015 by Jack Attridge and Pavle Mihailovic, Flavourworks is a mobile-first, next-generation studio that develops and produces technology for cinematic interactive stories. Most notably, the company is the inventor and proprietor of TouchVideo™ – a methodology and software for highly responsive interaction with video. Its interactive streaming technology and games engine for video unlocks immersive gameplay on touchscreens and SmartTVs, as well as PC and consoles. Flavourworks has created several cinematic game titles including ERICA, available on PlayStation, Steam, and iOS; and Hush—Crane, and Cuttlefish, both for mobile.
Flavourworks’ current CEO, Zachary Slatter, will join the Telltale management team as managing director, Europe.
This follows last week’s launch of Telltale’s first new game since the company’s resurrection, The Expanse: A Telltale Series, and is in line with its commitment to bringing narrative games to new audiences and platforms. Both Telltale and Flavourworks are backed by HIRO Capital, a Games and Metaverse Venture fund.
Led by Jamie Ottilie, CEO, Telltale is an independent developer and publisher of both original and licensed IP games for every major interactive platform and is a pioneer of narrative games and episodic delivery. The Telltale brand, assets, and various IP are now owned by LCG Entertainment, operating and marketing games under the Telltale name. LCG Entertainment is a privately held company, headquartered in Malibu with offices in Corte Madera, California.
