Former Zynga CastleVille team creates Dungeon Boss mobile title for Big Fish Games

Big Fish Games has partnered with a veteran developer team in Texas to publish a new mobile game called Dungeon Boss. The title will take Big Fish, known for its casual games, into a new genre of hardcore dungeon-fighting with rich 3D graphics.

The game comes from Boss Fight Entertainment, a mobile-game studio whose previous works included Zynga’s CastleVille and Microsoft’s Age of Empires and Rise of Nations. Seattle-based publisher Big Fish will help Dungeon Boss reach a large mainstream audience.
