Zynga Acquires Talent From Wonderland Software, Forms Zynga Mobile UK
Zynga announced another talent acquisition this morning: United Kingdom-based mobile developer Wonderland Software, best known for iOS hit GodFinger. The new team will form a studio called Zynga Mobile UK.
The Wonderland Software acquisition nets Zynga not only a team to lead its first-ever UK studio, but also brings the company selections from Wonderland Software’s intellectual property. Godfinger, however, was published by Ngmoco (now acquired by DeNA) and it doesn’t come with the acquisition. Zynga is not saying what other IP Wonderland brings in the deal.
