Transperfect, a company that specializes in language services across the film and game industries, recently purchased Technicolor Games for an undisclosed fee. The new subsidiary will operate as part of Transperfect Gaming.
The company’s game division provides services such as art production, QA, and audio services. Its past clients have included localization for Blizzard Entertainment and Inxile and customer support and marketing for Candivore.
In the announcement, Technicolor CEO Andy Emery said the acquisition “ensures [Technicolor’s] legacy continues, reinforcing its reputation as a premier provider of art, animation, and VFX services to the global video game industry.”
Based in North America, Asia, and the UK, Technicolor Games. has done animation and VFX work for Kingdom Come Deliverance II, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and EA Sports FC 25. As part of the deal, Emery and global business VP Eric Williams will remain and join Transparent Gaming’s senior leadership team.
Technicolor’s India-based employees will also be moved back to its Bangalore facility to “ensure continuity of business for all clients.”
This appears to be Transperfect’s first video game-related acquisition since its purchase of localization company MoGi Group in 2019.
