EA to Acquire Australian Mobile Game Developer Firemint
EA said today that it plans to acquire Firemint, the Australian game developer behind Flight Control and Real Racing. EA said the price wasn’t material, it isn’t releasing terms and that the deal should close within four weeks.
The deal comes shortly after EA’s acquisition of Mobile Post Production Inc., which helps developers create cross-platform titles and port their games for different devices.
While EA has plenty of IP to bring to the table (most recently NBA Jam) and a large mobile game development studio down in Southern California, it isn’t shying away from snapping up emerging talent.
