Irish video gaming company Keywords Studios is to buy Hollywood-based Blindlight from its founder Lev Chapelsky.
Blindlight provides production services for the video games industry and it works with top game producers around the world including Bethesda, NCSoft, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Ubisoft.
It provides voiceover production, celebrity acquisition and rights management, game writing, music, sound design and motion capture.
Andrew Day, CEO of Keywords Studios, said that Keywords and Blindlight have gotten to know each other well over the past three years.
He said he sees good opportunities to leverage both businesses to offer a wider range of world leading services to our clients.
"Following our recent acquisition of music services companies, Cord Worldwide and Laced, we see excellent opportunities for Blindlight to bring these services to Los Angeles, as well as providing access to further opportunities for our downstream production services of translation and localised voice over," he added.
