Reforged Studios, founded in 2023 by industry veterans Peter van der Watt, Colin Anderson, and Ross Laurie, is a hybrid developer/publisher aiming to transform the gaming industry. With operations in the UK, Malta and South Africa, Reforged Studios focuses on acquiring talented game development teams and providing them with robust business and operations support.
Their mission is to help acquired studios reach their full potential while allowing them to continue creating exceptional games. The company develops and publishes games for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile platforms.
Roxburgh Milkins provided legal support to Reforged Studios throughout their acquisition strategy, specifically advising on the successful acquisitions of Ground Shatter, Extra Mile Studios, and Distant Signal, with further acquisitions planned for the future.
These three studios were prioritised by Reforged’s CEO Peter Van Der Watt given their high growth potential. Our team worked collaboratively with Reforged’s internal legal team, adopting an agile approach to the M&A process. This enabled us to efficiently execute the transactions while ensuring Reforged’s business objectives were met. We have also assisted the business with fundraising and various internal matters.
Through this partnership, Reforged Studios is poised for continued success, equipping its acquired teams with the tools they need to thrive in the competitive gaming market. We were proud to be part of their journey, supporting the company as it scales and empowers the studios it acquires.
