Wargaming heeft aangekondigd dat zij de mobile games ontwikkelaar Boomlagoon uit Helsinki hebben gekocht. Ze staan bekend om hun games Monsu, Spirit Hunter en hun recentelijk uitgebrachte Super Soldiers.
Boomlagoon is in 2012 in Helsinki opgericht door een groep prominente game ontwikkelaars waaronder veteranen van Rovio, Digital Chocolate, Housemarque en Remedy. Sinds de release van de collectible card game Monsu en Spirit Hunter is het bedrijf een andere koers opgevaren op het gebied van ontwikkel strategieën met de open community ontwikkelde Super Soldiers.
“Wargaming has spent a number of years establishing ourselves as a leader not only in the PC and console gaming space, but also on mobile platforms,” aldus Keith Kawahata, Head of Mobile at Wargaming. “The acquisition of Boomlagoon, in the mobile development hotbed of Helsinki, creates a great outpost for us to strengthen our market position. They share our vision of fun, high quality products and services, and their extensive experience in mobile will help Wargaming deliver its future mobile titles to an even broader audience.”
“We are thrilled to join Wargaming,” aldus Antti Stén, CEO of Boomlagoon. “We get to continue creating world-class mobile experiences alongside a leading free-to-play developer and publisher, whose passion for games, ideas and plans resonate with ours. The combination of skills, expertise and resources we now have let us hit the ground running together, and we can’t wait to bring amazing titles to players out there!”
