Ubisoft has announced the acquisition of an India-based development studio of Gameloft, the mobile game company. The deal represents another step in Ubisoft's plan to ramp up their presence in Asia, following the establishment of a new studio in Singapore.
The two-year-old studio is located in Pune, in the west of India. Currently staffing 120 developers and testers, Ubisoft plans to balloon its size up to over 500, with a more modest goal of 200 employees by the year's end. Gameloft has a close relationship with Ubisoft, having developed mobile versions of a number of Ubisoft properties over the years, including Rainbow Six and Prince of Persia.

Of the cell-phone games I've played that aren't just mobile versions of tetris or pacman, gameloft tend to make the best ones. The mobile versions of Splinter Cell and Prince Of Persia were actually pretty fun, unlike most mobile games. Lemonade Tycoon still takes best mobile game for me though.
