Making a move on mobile

Roadhouse Interactive acquires Facebook and iOS outfit Embassy Interactive
Social studio Roadhouse Interactive has acquired Facebook and iOS game developer Embassy Interactive for an undisclosed sum.

Embassy, which was founded in 2008 and has been behind the likes of Undisputed Fight Nation for Facebook and Tangram Puzzle Pro on iPhone, will be rebranded Roadhouse Game Studios effective immediately.

Hit the road

Embassy's acquisition marks a move on the mobile market for Roadhouse, with the newly named studio set to focus on new product development for Facebook, smartphones, and tablets.

Indeed, Roadhouse claims its buyout of Embassy will enable the company as a whole to increase its development capabilities and expand its roster of projects.

"The acquisition of Embassy is a strategic fit for us and a critical step in our growth," explained Roadhouse CEO James Hursthouse.

"Roadhouse continues to grow as an end-to-end solution provider for the development, production, and live game operations of triple A online and social games.

"This acquisition opens a new chapter in the Roadhouse story, enabling us to move forward with an expanded slate of innovative projects in the future."
