Reforged Studios Welcomes Yellow Lab Games into Its Creative Family
The South African developer will persist in advancing its own intellectual property while also aiding Reforged projects.
Reforged Studios has acquired the South African developer Yellow Lab Games.
The specifics of the acquisition have not been revealed, with the announcement merely stating that Yellow Lab will continue to operate as an independent studio focusing on its own intellectual property, while also contributing to Reforged Studios’ initiatives.
Currently, Yellow Lab is developing the heavy metal-themed roguelite RPG Metavoidal, which has been released in alpha on Itch.io and is expected to fully launch on Steam during the first quarter of 2025.
This marks Reforged’s third acquisition this year, following their acquisition of Ground Shatter and Extra Mile Studios in August.
Reforged’s CEO and founder, Peter Van Der Watt, shared: “Growing up in South Africa, I have always recognized the remarkable game development talent present in the country. Yellow Lab Games has been on my radar for quite a while, particularly after witnessing the enthusiastic response to Metavoidal, their initial venture into PC and console gaming.”
“I have genuinely advocated for South African game development on a global scale since I traveled to Scotland to establish my first game studio back in.”
