AMAZEAmaze Entertainment, famous for their works with handheld games like Eragon PSP, The Sims, Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man's Chest, and Shrek III has just announced that they're merging with the even bigger Foundation 9 Entertainment company.

The merger was signed by Francisco Partners, F9E's owners, and is seen to make F9E now one of the largest game developers worldwide - this even after F9e's recent acquisition of Shiny Entertainment Studios.

Before their merger, Amaze had these studios under its command: KnowWonder, Griptonite, Monsoon and Fizz Factor.

F9E's roster included this list: The Collective, Backbone Entertainment, Pipeworks, ImaginEngine, Digital Eclipse, and Shiny Entertainment. The new company merger will then have a total of 11 studios under its belt, with roughly 725 employees spread out among them. Considering the track records between these two developers, and the kind of games they're churning out, we look forward to further news on how this merger will affect their future plans.
