I-play’s development capacity doubled

I-play CEO David Gosen has announced that their acquisition by Oberon Media allows them to “virtually double” their development capacity, reports MobileIndustry.biz.

“Specifically, Oberon provides the necessary future funding for the business and significant distribution and content advantages - as well as bringing existing internal 2D and 3D mobile development capabilities, allowing the company to virtually double its internal development capacity,” said Gosen.

Gosen also went on to state that the company will see a slight shift of focus: “I-play is positioned today as the casual mobile games company, and it will continue its core offering of compelling games for the mass market across 2D and 3D - as well as complementing our casual roadmap with some more niche, edgier, console-type games to ensure we satisfy all gamers,” he said.

Oberon Media acquires I-play

Oberon Media has announced that they have acquired all the assets of I-play, developer and publisher of a great many casual and more hardcore games.

Oberon has also announced a new round of funding from Goldman Sachs, Oak Investment Partners and Lehman Brothers, amongst others. This move expands Oberon’s already-impressive list of partnerships with companies such as Microsoft, Comcast, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and more.

“Oberon Media and I-play are a perfect strategic fit, sharing the same casual philosophy and consumer-centric approach to the games market,” said David Gosen, I-play’s CEO. “I-play brings some of the most successful game franchises on mobile, deep global distribution and powerful proprietary technology. Oberon Media’s online distribution will propel the growth of mobile games by driving awareness and accessibility, while complementing and working in partnership with traditional on-deck distribution.”

Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed, and both companies expect it to be complete by the end of June.
