Nexon Korea, a subsidiary of Japanese developer Nexon, has acquired Big Huge Games,.

The Maryland developer is already working with Nexon's US mobile publishing arm Nexon M with its successful F2P mobile strategy game DomiNations. 

It was one of PocketGamer.biz's Games of 2015. 

The terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but given DomiNations' success, it will be been a double-digit million deal. 

The acquisition will see the two companies continuing to work together for the foreseeable future on the aforementioned game, which surpassed 19 million downloads in March 2016, including solid success in Korea and Japan. 

“We are thrilled to be joining forces with Big Huge Games. One of Nexon’s core objectives is to empower the best game developers around the world enable them to succeed,” said Owen Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nexon.

“DomiNations has achieved great success in both the West and Asia, and we’re excited to work with Big Huge Games to deliver the best quality gameplay to fans for years to come."

A great relationship

The game was co-developed by Nexon and Big Huge Games, with Nexon handling publishing duties, and the relationship will continue much the same following the acquisition.

“We’ve had such a great relationship with Nexon on DomiNations, and we’re very excited to become part of the family," said Tim Train, CEO of Big Huge Games.

"We share Nexon’s vision that games are most successful when passionate, talented designers can create innovative gameplay, and we look forward to many years of working together to create worldwide hits that change the mobile landscape.”
