Next Games, which is making high-profile mobile games like the upcoming The Walking Dead, has acquired its neighbor, the mobile game studio Helsinki GameWorks.
Helsinki is full of mobile gaming talent these days thanks to hit mobile games from companies like Supercell, the maker of Clash of Clans, and Angry Birds studio Rovio. Next Games wants to be, well, the next one to come up with a hit, but it isn’t waiting until it launches its first big game into a mobile market that’s expected to grow to $20 billion (or even more) by the end of 2014.
