 | | The developer will join Sony's newly formed global development operation, SCE Worldwide Studios, and is the second studio acquisition by SCE, following the purchase of Dutch Killzone developer Guerrilla Games in December 2005, as Sony continues to expand its internally-owned developer network in advance of the launch of the PlayStation 3. |
 | | Zipper Interactive was founded by Jim Bosler and Brian Soderberg in 1995, and is best known for its SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals game series, for which franchise sales have now surpassed seven million units worldwide. |
 | | In addition to the SOCOM series, Zipper has developed other titles, including Mechwarrior 3 and Crimson Skies, but has been dedicated to the SOCOM series for some time, most recently releasing SOCOM: Fire Team Bravo for the PSP in late 2005. |
