Infospace is dating Lara Croft - it has bagged European development and distribution rights to Eidos mobile games.
In addition to Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Puzzle Paradox, InfoSpace will distribute Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legends (a 3D game), Hitman: New York, Hitman: Las Vegas and Championship Manager, as well as InfoSpace-developed Thief: Deadly Shadows: Episodes 1 & 2.
The agreement builds on an existing deal between the two in the US, though Eidos will continue its direct distribution relationships with a number of operators across Europe.
Simon Protheroe, new media and IT director at Eidos, said: “We have extended the scope of our partnership with Infospace as the company has both the in-house development talent to bring world-class mobile gaming titles to market and the infrastructure and reach to help us distribute to carriers internationally."
John Chasey, VP of global games, European technology & operations at InfoSpace, said: “This latest deal cements our position as an international partner with Eidos Interactive and reinforces our position as a leader in mobile gaming.”
