As a result of the deal, iDreamSky will become the owner of 50.1% of the shares of the American studio and will receive exclusive rights to publish the title project of Rumble Entertainment, the KingsRoad game, in the Asia-Pacific region.
According to Lyndon, iDreamSky is not going to stop. If the deal yields good results, the company will continue to invest in Western game studios.
Recall that iDreamSky publishes projects such as Fruit Ninja, Temple Run 2 and Subway Surfers in China.
Rumble Entertainment was founded in 2011 and since then has been creating mobile projects for hardcore players. The flagship title of the company is the KingsRoad game. This is an MMORPG in a fantasy setting, which was originally released on Facebook and in the browser, and only then appeared on mobile platforms.
