Shiny Entertainment, inventor of games like MDK, EarthWorm Jim and more recently the Matrix games is merging with The Collective into one company. Collective we know of games like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Revenge of the Sith. This information comes from Foundation 9 the company that owns both of them.

The new boss will be Michael Presso, who already stood at the head of Shiny Entertainment. The new company will be situated on the 60,000 square foot corporate headquarters in Irvine, California.

Foundation 9 Entertainment has announced that it will combine its two existing Southern California studios, The Collective and Shiny Entertainment, into one larger entity. The merge will enable greater capacity to create large-scale games based on big licensed properties. Both studios have already relocated to F9E's new 60,000 square foot corporate headquarters in Irvine, California. The move will not create any redundancies, but will be a true combination of the two studios, who both already have extensive experience delivering blockbuster franchised games, such as Enter the Matrix and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Currently Shiny Entertainment was developing the games based on the new movie "The Golden Compass" and THe Collective was busy on Silent Hill 5.
