Company overview

The company was formed in 2009 by Sony Computer Entertainment. In early 2011, it was announced that the studio was working on an unannounced "combat heavy" multiplayer title for the PlayStation 3.[4] In April 2012, it was revealed that the game would be titled PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, which released in November 2012 in most parts of the world.[5] After the release of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, in February 2013, Sony Computer Entertainment cut ties with the company due to inadequate sales.[6][7] SuperBot Entertainment moved on to mobile development, releasing Cuddlefish Friends in 2013.[8] SuperBot's website went offline in 2014[9] and their social media went dark after a February 5, 2014 post saying they were hard at work on a Cuddlefish Friends sequel, which was not released.[10]
