SuperBot Entertainment (formerly known as Broodworks) is an American independent video game company formed in 2009 by Shannon Studstill, who was an executive producer at Sony Santa Monica when the company was formed.[1][2] The studio, based in Culver City, California, released their fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale on November 20, 2012 in North America, November 21, 2012 in Europe, November 22, 2012 in Australia, November 23, 2012 in the UK and January 31, 2013 in Japan.[3] The company is currently working on a new intellectual property.
Company Overview
The company was formed in 2009 by Sony Computer Entertainment. In early 2011, it was discovered that the studio was working on an un-announced "combat heavy" multiplayer title for the PlayStation 3.[4] In April 2012, it was revealed that the game would be titled PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, which released in November of 2012 in most parts of the world.[5] After the release of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, in February of 2013, Sony Computer Entertainment cut ties with the company due to inadequate sales. [6][7] Although many speculated that the company had closed, it was revealed in April of 2013 that the company had begun work on a new intellectual property.[8][9]
