Yellow Lab Games Acquired by Reforged Studios
Reforged Studios has acquired South African developer Yellow Lab Games.
While the terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed, the announcement clarified that Yellow Lab will continue to operate as an independent studio, working on its own intellectual property while also contributing to Reforged Studios' projects.
Yellow Lab is currently developing Metavoidal, a heavy metal-inspired roguelite RPG that released in alpha on Itch.io. The game is expected to launch fully on Steam in Q1 2025. This marks Reforged’s third acquisition this year, following its purchases of Ground Shatter and Extra Mile Studios in August.

Peter Van Der Watt, CEO and founder of Reforged, commented: "Growing up in South Africa, I have always been aware of the incredible game development talent the country hosts. Yellow Lab Games have been on my radar for some time, especially since seeing the positive reaction to Metavoidal, their first foray into PC and console gaming. I have championed South African game development around the world since moving to Scotland to found my first game studio back in 2011, and today the whole of Reforged’s board shares my enthusiasm for the region's potential. So when the opportunity arose to have [Yellow Lab head of studios] David Hecker and his team join our group, we did not hesitate.
