"Since early 2022, Bossa has been focused exclusively in the genre of Co-op PvE, a space where we have a lot of ideas for innovative gameplay and shared experiences for the players," said Henrique Olifiers, Co-founder and Gamer-in-Chief of Bossa Studios. "Together with tinyBuild, we found a path that allows Bossa to dedicate its full attention to its new projects, while ensuring Surgeon Simulator, I Am Bread and I Am Fish have a new home that understands what makes these games tick as well as we do".
"We continue investing into expanding our portfolio of our own IP and today's deals are a unique opportunity to bring both Konfa's talented team of developers in-house and to add the amazing Bossa intellectual property to the tinyBuild portfolio," said Alex Nichiporhik, CEO and Co-Founder of tinyBuild.
