Wildly successful indie developer RedLynx is now a part of French mega-publisher Ubisoft. RedLynx announced the acquisition this morning (evening for the Finland-based outfit) via
its forums, where company CEO Rero Virtala explained the decision. "We were attracted by Ubisoft's focus on creativity and quality," he said, also pointing to the publisher's "long-term strategy on both the traditional and digital distribution video game markets."
Ubisoft has been pushing quality digital titles hard over the last year, with everything from unique one-offs like
Outland and
From Dust to re-releases of classics like
TMNT,
Prince of Persia, and
Beyond Good & Evil HD. The publisher was no doubt attracted to RedLynx's massively popular
Trials series, which is
set to receive a sequel in the coming months.
