Cloud Imperium Acquires Turbulent

Cloud Imperium, the mastermind behind Star Citizen, has taken over Turbulent, a renowned game development studio. This strategic move comes after the two entities have collaborated for over ten years on the development of Star Citizen. Founded in 2002, Turbulent provides IT consulting services to clients across the gaming, education, and entertainment sectors. As a result of the acquisition, the studio's 189 employees will retain their positions, and all ongoing projects will proceed as planned. The executive team, comprising Benoit Beauséjour, Marc Beaudet, Claire Buffet, Guillaume Voghel, and Dorine Segura, will continue to lead the studio. According to Beauséjour, 'After achieving great success together for over a decade, it was a natural progression to merge our forces.' He added, 'This deal reinforces the rich talent pool in Montreal and Quebec's gaming and tech industries, and we will now have access to Cloud Imperium's vast global network of experts. Our team will also have the opportunity to work on international projects.' Furthermore, Beauséjour and Beaudet will join Cloud Imperium's leadership team as chief technology officer and senior vice president of studio operations, respectively.
