Consolidation is afoot in the world of physics SDKs. Havok, a part of Telekinesis Research, is buying German physics rival Ipion. The two product will continue on separately in the meantime, with Havok's Dublin and Palo Alto offices as well as Ipion's Munich office and staff remaining in place to service customers. In the long term, Havok and Ipion hope to merge their strengths in a bid unseat game physics incumbent Math Engine.
