Saber Interactive is an American-based video game developer. The company has been founded in 2001 and has grown into one of the largest and longest-standing developers of interactive games in Russia and Eastern Europe. One of the recently successful Saber’s projects is zombie-apocalypse shooter World War Z, released in April 2019. Also, id Software producer and game director Tim Willits joined the company this year in August.
Keep broadening itself, Saber Interactive announced yesterday it’s acquiring Bigmoon Entertainment, Portugual-based games developer known for such titles as Syndrome, Demons Age and a number of racing games. Saber has not divulged information about the cost of acquisition, but has stated that company ” would have sought to acquire the studio even if World War Z had been a more modest success”.
“Saber is always on the lookout for teams with creativity, passion and expertise, and the crew at Bigmoon is a perfect fit for our culture and ambitions.”

Now the Bigmoon team will be renamed into “Saber Porto” and it will work on two unannounced projects with no release dates yet.
