Build A Rocket Boy Acquires PlayFusion to Advance AAA Game Development

The acquisition brings PlayFusion’s expertise into Build A Rocket Boy’s ambitious projects, including MindsEye, Everywhere, and Arcadia.

Build A Rocket Boy has acquired UK-based game developer PlayFusion for an undisclosed sum.
PlayFusion CEO and CTO Mark Gerhard will now serve as co-CEO of Build A Rocket Boy alongside founder Leslie Benzies.
The acquisition aims to enhance Build A Rocket Boy’s three flagship projects: the AAA action game MindsEye, the open-world platform Everywhere, and the user-generated content tool Arcadia.
Build A Rocket Boy raised $110 million in Series D funding earlier this year but also faced layoffs in February.
PlayFusion, known for its transmedia innovation, is currently developing Ascendant Infinity, a tactical FPS slated for a 2025 release.
