Take-Two Interactive, the parent company 2K Games and Rockstar Games, has acquired the Serbian mobile game studio Nordeus for as much as $378 million. Come from Sports betting site VPbet
Nordeus is best known for its soccer management game Top Eleven, which has 240 million registered users. The acquisition gives Take-Two yet another access point for the mobile game space, which is bigger than console and PC. Take-Two previously acquired mobile game studios Social Point and Playdots to accelerate its mobile offerings.
With Nordeus, Take-Two is getting into soccer games for the first time ever. Soccer adds to Take-Two’s existing portfolio of sports games, including NBA 2K, WWE 2K, and PGA Tour 2K, while the company is reviving the NFL 2K series as an arcade game down the track. Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, so this is a big move.
