Zynga Inc. (Nasdaq: ZNGA) is taking over the cross-platform game studio Echtra Games, which is led by the developers of the action role-playing games Diablo and Torchlight franchises.
The Echtra Games team strengthens Zynga’s cross-platform gaming future by adding talented developers with extensive cross-platform gaming experience, as well as proprietary cross-platform development tools and technologies built on top of the Unreal Engine.
The Echtra Games team is to work with Zynga’s NaturalMotion studio to develop a new, yet to be announced, role-playing game (RPG) for cross-platform gaming.
“Max and his team at Echtra Games are responsible for some of the most iconic games ever made and are experts in the action RPG genre and cross-platform development,” said Frank Gibeau, Zynga’s chief executive officer.
