Electronic Arts Inc. has acquired Chillingo, an independent games publisher, in a bid to strengthen its leadership on the Apple platform and as a wireless entertainment publisher.
Chillingo publishes original and successful games from the developer community for various platforms, including titles that are considered a hit on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad such as Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, Helsing’s Fire, Predators, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Minigore, iDracula, and Modern Conflict.
EA said the acquisition synergises Chillingo’s expertise in cultivating the ideas of independent developers with its own global reach in mobile publishing. It also said that it is committed to preserving Chillingo’s independence, which allows the latter to manage and cultivate its network of relationships.
