News Corp Acquires Social Games Developers Irata Games

News Corp, the owners of MySpace and IGN game network, have acquired a social gaming company called Irata Labs. The terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but the LA Times says that there are no plans to fold Irata Games into MySpace or IGN. Irata Games develop Facebook and Twitter games and consist of three employees at this time.

The plan seems to be to use Irata Games for development of games when News Corp has a need across its vast network.
