Behaviour Interactive snaps up Darkest Dungeon developer Red Hook Studios
Briefly

"The way is lit. The path is clear." Today, we're ecstatic to announce our acquisition of Red Hook Studios. Darkest Dungeon has long been a series we've admired, enjoyed (and maybe even lost a little sleep over) as fans, and the opportunity to welcome Red Hook as a fully independent studio under our umbrella is thrilling. We look forward to what we can accomplish together in the future."
"Earlier this year, we established an ambitious goal for our future as a publisher – to make Behaviour synonymous with horror, and surround Dead by Daylight with a library of similarly exceptional horror games. Our acquisition of Red Hook is another emphatic step towards this objective, with more to come."
Behaviour has also kept on Red Hook's entire 29-strong staff. This move not only reinforces our commitment to preserving the creative talent of Red Hook but also enhances our capacity to create unique gaming experiences in the horror genre, which we greatly admire."
It's been a topsy turvy year for Dead by Daylight maker Behaviour Interactive, which has released two spin-offs, laid off dozens of workers and shut down a studio that was working on another offshoot of its tentpole project. Yet, the acquisition of a successful studio like Red Hook showcases Behaviour's resilience and ambition in the gaming industry.
