Plarium acquires Rumble Entertainment to expand into RPG market

Plarium specializes in massively multiplayer online games such as Soldiers Inc. and Throne: Kingdom at War, which mainly focus on strategic gameplay. The mobile and social games publisher announced today that it’s acquired Rumble Entertainment (also known as Rumble Games), a studio that focuses on fantasy role-playing games such as Alliance: Heroes of the Spire and KingsRoad.

“In many ways this acquisition was a natural extension for us, because our focus has been on creating web and mobile games with strategy and RPG gameplay elements for a hardcore gaming audience, which is comparable to Rumble’s target audience,” said Plarium’s chief marketing officer and cofounder Gabi Shalel in an email. “Rumble Games titles have similar themes but are more focused on action/RPG components. Ultimately, Rumble can help us expand into the RPG market.”
