Columbus Nova, a New York-based investment management firm, has acquired Sony Online Entertainment from Sony Corporation, and rebranded the online games studio Daybreak Game Company.

The acquisition means Daybreak will operate as an independent game development studio, which will continue focusing on creating online games. The studio’s upcoming lineup includes EverQuest Next, as well as the recently Steam Early Access-launched H1Z1.

In a forum post, the Daybreak team says it will now be able to function as a multiplatform company, including “PlayStation and Xbox, mobile and more!”
