The deal is a 100% acquisition, meaning iCandy owns Lemon Sky. The deal will also be funded with US$17.8 million in cash and US$26.7 million in newly-issued shares. Lemon Sky Studios will be an iCandy subsidiary.

As for specifics & platforms? No major project announcements have been made yet. Post-acquisition, the company will focus on “integrating and harnessing the synergies of the combined businesses to drive accretive value for shareholders”.
You may recognize Lemon Sky Studios as making high-quality art and game assets for renowned titles like the Demon’s Souls remake, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, The Last of Us Part 2, and WarCraft 3: Reforged. The company is also renowned for allegedly putting its artists through unpaid crunch.
You know what they say: if you can’t beat ’em, buy them.
