Behaviour Interactive opens new studio in United Kingdom composed of former Antimatter Games developers

Behaviour Interactive has announced the opening of a new studio in Truro, Cornwall, in the South West United Kingdom. It is composed primarily of former employees of Antimatter Games, whose parent company recently announced its intention to close the studio. The new studio will be named Behaviour UK – South.

“Many truly talented individuals have been undeservedly impacted by the economic challenges that have led to layoffs across the gaming industry,” said Behaviour Interactive services division executive vice president Wayne Meazza in a press release. “When we learned Antimatter Games was closing, we jumped at the opportunity to accelerate our strategic expansion by adding the studio’s proven, experienced team. This represented a true win-win situation, particularly given how Antimatter shared Behaviour’s well-established culture of collaborative ambition.”

The opening of Behaviour UK – South follows Behaviour Interactive’s February 2023 acquisition of SockMonkey in Middlesbrough, Teesside, which was subsequently renamed Behaviour UK – North.

Behaviour UK – South general manager and former Antimatter Games CEO Rich Barham added, “We are thrilled that we can continue to pursue our passion for making games as part of the Behaviour team. We feel very fortunate that we can maintain our home in beautiful Truro, and we look forward to welcoming new members to the team over the coming months and years.”
