Sumo Digital, best known in recent times for developing Team Sonic Racing, has announced it is working on "new projects" with the global game publisher 2K.
While there are no details about the games just yet or the platforms they will be released on, it has been revealed development will take place at Sumo Digital's Sheffield Studio and also the recently acquired Red Kite Games, based in Huddersfield, UK.
Here's what the developer's managing director Gary Dunn had to say about the partnership:
“We’re delighted to be working with 2K and look forward to disclosing details of the projects in due course.”
Sumo Digital started out in the early 2000s with games like OutRun 2. In 2008, it developed Sega Superstars Tennis and this eventually led to it working on Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and the sequel, Transformed. It helped out with Disney Infinity 3.0 in 2015, and more recently worked on Hitman, Forza Motorsport, Crackdown 3 and Snake Pass.
2K is best known for titles such as NBA 2K19, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, Borderlands, Civilization and the Sid Meier's series.

Borderlands Collection PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSE!
Need me some Mechromancer action!
@Kinpatsu We can only hope...
I always think Bioshock when I think of 2K. The Switch needs some immersive sims.
No mention of switch at all... so I’d assume at this point the focus won’t be the switch and best we can hope is switch will be included
Borderlands on Switch.... BORDERLANDS ON SWITCH!
@Krull
Yes, there are some ports that are absolutely feasible from a technical point and never happened. Bioshock, Arkham trilogy, Borderlands, Dead Space Trilogy.. They would be great on the go and they would sell well for sure!
Probably more garbage WWE games.
Bioshock collection please.
@SpicyBurrito16 that be great
2K owns Take Two.. GTA5 Switch? Just as much wishful thinking as the other replies.
@Magician - With Sumo, it at least runs, so there is that hope.
But this means no Snake Pass 2 soon, icky.
Most likely WWE or Borderlands....🤔
Borderland Racing
Maybe a WWE Crush Hour 2. When I think of Sumo Digital to me is all about the driving so a Crush Hour 2 with 2K would be nice. I am one of the few that love the original Crush Hour back in the GameCube PS2 days as it offered a very esque Twisted Metal feel to the game and I'm a die hard Twisted Metal player.
Give us outrun 3 or outrun 2 coast 2 coast HD indeed!
@sanderev if a GTA could end up on the DS anything is possible!
@Electric-Dreams Yeah, but they lost a lot of money on Chinatown Wars. I don't think they will try again. (Was a great game, though)
Since 2k owns the army men series, a reboot of the franchise would be awesome. Heck I'll even take remasters of the sarge heroes series
I think both Bioshock and Borderlands on Switch sound great to me! Collections preferably. Unlike some people, I am perfectly okay with getting last gen's greats on Switch. Even ones I have already played. Just to name a few that would be easily feasible:
Mass Effect Trilogy (you can keep Andromeda)
Borderlands Collection
Bioshock Collection
GTA 4 and 5
Deadspace Collection
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
The Orange Box
Red Dead Redemption
Batman Arkham games
Kingdom Hearts 1+2 Final Remix HD
FFXIII and sequels.
Obviously most of those aren't 2K but my point is that there are plenty of 3rd party games from last gen I would be more than okay with seeing on Nintendo Switch. Those who don't like ports or already played them and don't want to revisit them, can just play something else.
I like sumo but dislike 2k, hope things work out.
Isn’t 2K a publisher only? The games mentioned above are made by Firaxis, Yuke’s etc.
Sumo would be better if they didn't destroy Little Big Planet 3. The game launched as trash and I don't think they ever properly fixed it
