Mergers and Acquisitions

26 June 2024 19:11

Infogrames, a game publishing and distribution subsidiary of Atari, has announced its acquisition of the Surgeon Simulator franchise through an agreement with tinyBuild Inc. Surgeon Simulator, known for its humorous and over-the-top medical simulations, originally debuted on PC and Mac in 2013. The game features first-person surgical procedures set in unconventional environments.

Since its inception, Surgeon Simulator has expanded its reach with adaptations for mobile platforms and PlayStation 4 in 2014, followed by a VR version titled Surgeon Simulator VR: Meet The Medic on PlayStation 4 and Windows in 2016. The franchise continued to grow with Surgeon Simulator CPR releasing for Nintendo Switch in 2018. In 2020, a sequel titled Surgeon Simulator 2: Access All Areas introduced four-player online co-op gameplay on PC, followed by its Xbox release in 2021.

Founded in 1983 in Paris, Infogrames underwent rapid growth during the 1990s and early 2000s through numerous acquisitions. In 2003, it acquired the Atari brand and rebranded itself under that name. However, this period was marked by substantial financial losses, leading to restructuring efforts, closures, and eventually the complete acquisition of Atari Inc. Infogrames subsequently sold its European distribution operations to Bandai Namco. The brand was recently revived by Atari.

Infogrames Manager, Geoffroy Châteauvieux stated “More than 10 years after the release of the original, Surgeon Simulator remains a popular and unique franchise, this was a rare opportunity to acquire a game with a timeless appeal, and we are excited to have Surgeon Simulator within the Infogrames portfolio.”
