Borderlands developer Gearbox Software has acquired a company that has done extensive work on movies like Logan, Joker, Avatar, and many, many more. The way we make games has been rapidly evolving for years now. What started as two sticks bouncing a ball back and forth, a tiny circle eating other smaller circles, and other rather simple ideas has evolved into incredibly cinematic and immersive stories with groundbreaking gameplay.
Now, Gearbox is acquiring a major company known as Captured Dimensions which has worked on movies like Logan, John Wick 3, Black Panther, and a number of other major films. The company specializes in high-quality 3D scanning, allowing them to scan people and objects into a 3D environment which is helpful for both VFX in a movie and capturing someone's likeness in a video game. The company has worked with Gearbox and some other studios on games in the past.
"We've had the pleasure of working with Jordan and his team at Captured Dimensions on several projects over the years – this deal brings a wealth of talent into the Gearbox family in several key areas, and I'm excited to welcome them," said Sean Haran, chief business officer of the Gearbox Entertainment Company.
— GearboxOfficial January 4, 2023 It'll likely be a while before we get to see the proper fruits of labor from this acquisition, as games take a long time to make now. However, it's possible that having direct access to a company like this could speed up a lot of processes and help Gearbox release games at a steadier pace, but that's pure speculation. Either way, it's exciting to see such ambitious technology being harnessed by a video game developer.
