Oxford, November 25th, 2019 - Rebellion, one of Europe's largest independent creative studios, is proud to announce its acquisition of the iconic The #bitmapbrothers brand and portfolio. Described as "Gaming's first rockstars," The #bitmapbrothers were responsible for what many regard as some of the stand-out games of the late 80s and early 90s, including titles such as Xenon, Z: Steel Soldiers, Speedball and Chaos Engine. #rebellion plans to bring classic The #bitmapbrothers games to new platforms, and going forward to create new titles based on its beloved licenses. The news comes as the UK's National Videogame Museum unveiled its new UK Collection which launches with a focus on #rebellion, recognizing the studio's achievements across multimedia, spanning more than a quarter of a century. This will lead to #rebellion being featured in the first Great British Studios exhibition, launching at a future date in the museum. "We're delighted with the addition of The #bitmapbrothers to the ever-growing #rebellion portfolio," said #rebellion CEO and co-founder Jason Kingsley OBE. "The #bitmapbrothers are renowned for making great games and for bringing gaming into the mainstream with inimitable style. We've known Mike Montgomery for many years and we're honoured by the faith and trust that he has shown in us by passing on the torch. We'll strive to be vigilant custodians of one of gaming's great names." To celebrate today's announcement, #rebellion have unveiled a special photo featuring company co-founders Jason and Chris Kingsley OBE and The #bitmapbrothers co-founder Mike Montgomery, harking back to the classic images of The #bitmapbrothers that gained mainstream attention in the 90s.
