This War of Mine developer 11 bit studios has purchased a 40 percent stake in fellow Polish studio Fool's Theory. The company will buy the shares from Fool's Theory co-owners Jakub Rokosz and Krzysztof Mąka in a deal worth up to $1.49 million, comprising an upfront payment of PLN 2.62 million and an additional payment ranging from PLN 1.57 million to PLN 3.67 million based on certain performance goals. Based in Bielsko-Biała, Fool's Theory has worked on titles including Baldur's Gate and Outriders, and is currently developing a new original RPG called Vitriol. As well as purchasing a stake in Fool's Theory, 11 bit revealed it has so far invested more than PLN 17 million into the production of Vitriol as the game's publisher. Fool's Theory co-owner Jakub Rokosz said the studio chose to forge a partnership with 11 bit because the two companies are philosophically aligned.
