Rising UK games specialist Telcogames has boosted its strength in high-end mobile gaming by acquiring Finnish developer Fathammer for an undisclosed sum.
Fathammer is a good fit for Telcogames. Although the latter has established itself in three years as a leading off-portal games distributor and a supplier to many operator decks, it has recently become recognised as a specialist in publishing advanced 'native' games. Last year it acquired the French developer Magic Productions with this in mind.
The typical Fathammer game is certainly aimed at 'advanced' mobile gamers: it's between 1Mb and 5Mb in capacity - that's around 20 times the industry average. The deal also gives Telcogames a stronger presence in Finland and South Korea, where Fathammer has good links.
Jamie Conyngham, CEO of Telcogames, said: Combined with the Magic acquisition, this deal makes Telcogames a leader in native and advanced mobile games."
