Gas Powered Games bought up by Wargaming

16 February 2013

Wargaming has acquired Gas Powered Games. This follows Gas Powered closing their widely-covered Kickstarter campaign for Wildman.

Wargaming will take full ownership of the studio, as well as bring on the talent of CEO and company founder Chris Taylor.

“Gas Powered Games’ heritage and development pedigree shows us just how valuable an addition Chris and his company will make to the Wargaming family,” said Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi.

“Gas Powered Games has a long track record of providing incredibly engaging AAA gaming experiences and we can’t wait to start working with them.”

Wargaming is best known for its World of Tanks series, as well as the World of Warplanes and World of Warships franchises.

In January 2013, it was reported that a large portion of Gas Powered Games’ staff was let go.
