Kabam announced today that it will distribute the popular web game Wartune in North American and Europe on mobile devices.

The role-playing/strategy game fulfills a couple of strategic goals for Kabam. It helps expand the company’s third-party publishing efforts, so it can take advantage of its own mobile distribution network to make externally produced games more successful. This move is also connected to Kabam’s $50 million development fund for the Asian market. Kabam is using that money to invest in Asian developers to help them introduce their games in other parts of the world. Lastly, it’s a move to spread out to new kinds of popular content.
