Sony have just snapped up Zipper Interactive, creators of the succesful SOCOM series, to become part of Sony Worldwide Studios along with Killzone developer Guerilla who were joined the fold late last year.

No financial details about the deal have been revealed, and neither have any details of any games that Zipper may be developing, although it seems a fairly safe bet that a version of SOCOM for PS3 is pretty likely to be among the first fruits of the deal, especially since the PSP game SOCOM: Fire Team Bravo has been selling very well and it’s a well established franchise.

CEO of Zipper Jim Bosler had this to say. “We’ve enjoyed an incredible relationship with SCE for more than six years… As a part of the Sony Computer Entertainment group we can look forward to introducing innovative titles that push online functionality and community experiences even further.“
