Kabam and Lionsgate team up to create The Hunger Games mobile title

Kabam will make a long-awaited mobile game based on The Hunger Games film franchise as part of a deal with movie studio Lionsgate.

The deal is a coup of Kabam, a maker of free-to-play mobile-social games based on films like The Hobbit and Fast & Furious, as it tries to distinguish its role-playing strategy titles from the huge pack of clones on mobile devices. It’s a big deal because the first two Hunger Games movies have generated $1.5 billion at the box office and have huge brand recognition throughout the world.
