Behaviour acquires The Fun Pimps, creators of 7 Days to Die

Behaviour Interactive, the largest Canadian game studio, announced its acquisition of The Fun Pimps, creators of 7 Days to Die. Since its early access launch in 2013, 7 Days to Die has sold more than 20 million copies. Its success is the result of not only an exceptionally talented development team, but also a passionate, and dedicated community, the companies said. The Fun Pimps’ partnership with Behaviour will work to reward this community by supporting the project’s development and expanding its resources, without any change to its creative leadership. (I’m curious if Behaviour, which has an odd spelling, will attempt to change the wildly inappropriate name of The Fun Pimps; just kidding, both companies have had some amazing success over the years). Under the new collaboration, The Fun Pimps will continue to lead all development on 7 Days to Die. Behaviour will provide additional support, expertise, and production capacity, giving the team the resources necessary to accelerate development of their existing road map and give players more of the game they love. A Dead by Daylight “We’re truly excited to welcome The Fun Pimps,” said Rémi Racine, Behaviour’s CEO, in a statement. ‘’Over more than a decade, 7 Days to Die has established itself as a beloved franchise, inspiring more than 20 million players. It fits naturally within Behaviour’s goal of assembling a diverse, high-quality horror portfolio. It’s also an ideal complement to Dead by Daylight – both games have steadily grown alongside their communities. We look forward to celebrating the game’s community by supporting The Fun Pimps’ creative vision.” “This is a huge moment for our game and our business,” stated Richard Huenink, The Fun Pimps’ cofounder, in a statement. “When we started this company thirteen years ago, we never imagined 7 Days to Die would become what it is today. That growth has come from our community, who have driven our game forward from the beginning. To keep giving them what they deserve, we knew we needed a partner who shared our ambitious vision for the future. Behaviour turned out to be exactly that.’’Want to Learn More? 7 Days to Die is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June.
