Nazara Technologies has acquired Curve Games for £21.7 million.
The acquisition was made to strengthen the India-based gaming and sports media firm as it continues to build “a diverse portfolio of businesses” through mergers and acquisitions.
It said that the “publishing capabilities” of Curve will allow it to grow globally and support cross-platform IP development for PC and console.
“Curve’s proven expertise in PC and console publishing makes them an ideal partner as we expand our focus beyond mobile into high-quality cross-platform gaming,” said Nazara CEO Nitish Mittersain.
“This acquisition deepens our capabilities, brings exceptional IP into our fold, and strengthens our mission in building Nazara as a global gaming powerhouse from India. Curve will also serve as a gateway to the world for Indian game developers.”
Curve Games’ executive chairman Stuart Dinsey added: “Joining the Nazara family is an exciting new chapter for Curve. Nazara’s ecosystem, access to emerging markets and long-term orientation make them a strong strategic partner.
“We are aligned in our vision of building a leading global indie platform, and we look forward to the next phase of growth together.”
UK-based Curve Games was founded in 2005 by Jason Perkins. It is known for publishing indie titles including Human: Fall Flat, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and The Ascent.
Last September, Nazara raised $108 million to bolster its merger and acquisition goals. A month prior, it acquired Fusebox Games for $27.2 million.
