Eidos parent SCi has hinted that it will make more acquisitions in mobile.
After snapping up mobile casual game developers Morpheme and Rockpool in the past 12 months, SCI/Eidos CEO Jane Cavanagh told ME sister magazine MCV that Eidos is still hungry for acquisitions – and that these are likely to involve studios that fall in the camp of firms that produce titles for non-traditional audiences.
"At any point in time, there are a number of opportunities that we’re looking at," she said.
"We’ll take any opportunity that offers a good strategic proposition for us very seriously, and these vary in terms of type and size. There are a variety of things under consideration. Rockpool and Morpheme are skewed towards the mobile and new media landscape, and the probability is that we will do more in this area."
SCi's Eidos New Media division has already published mobile versions of console hits Tomb Raider, Hitman and Championship Manager, among others.
