News Summary:

On August 10, 2026, Blazing Griffin partnered with Amazon Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to develop "Batman: Caped Crusader — Chronicles," a new interactive experience. The Glasgow-based independent studio, known for detective and mystery games such as *Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot* and *Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin*, is collaborating on the title. Earlier, on June 11, 2026, Blazing Griffin outlined its strategic vision to invest in a cinema-standard grading theatre, aiming to retain creative talent and film-making processes within Scotland rather than London. This initiative followed the May 2026 opening of Blazing Griffin's dedicated DCI-compliant theatrical film-grading suite in Glasgow, which marked the first of its kind in Scotland. This new grading theatre incorporates capabilities from the company's November 2025 acquisition of boutique post-production facility Brick + Mortar, which integrated co-founders Tom Cairns, senior colorist, and Jack Lang, creative director and editor, into the team.
