Sega acquires Secret Level & Sports Interactive

Pay up!

Sega moved one step closer to gaining further ground in the Western market by acquiring San Francisco developer Secret Level through an undisclosed deal. Last July, Sega put Secret Level to work, tasking the developer with reviving a classic franchise - rumored to be After Burner - for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Apparently, pleased with the studio's work, Sega decided to acquire Secret Level, rather than build an internal team from scratch.

Sega has also announced the acquisition of UK studio Sports Interactive, developers of the Football Manager series.
