The new report from Variety suggested that Paramount Games Studio would serve as “…a unified gaming studio” that combines Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media with Paramount’s extensive lineup of intellectual property. Previously, Paramount licensed its IP to other game studios to handle production.
The studio has two titles in development right now: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, and a Star Wars game that has no title yet, a collaborative affair with Disney’s (DIS) Lucasfilm. Another title will be announced later today at the Summer Game Fest event. This move makes particular sense as Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) already has a gaming division, and if the merger between Warner and Paramount goes through, Paramount will need to accommodate that content as well.
Speaking of the News Division…
Reports out at Paramount suggest that CBS News personality and 60 Minutes alum Lesley Stahl has new agency representation, possibly ahead of an upcoming firing or departure. With Scott Pelley recently fired, and most of CBS News in turmoil ahead of the potential merger and acquisition of CNN, some are starting to wonder: when does David Ellison himself get involved?
