Eidos buys another mobile game developer
Morpheme joins the Lara Croft crowd
Eidos Mobile is certainly serious about this mobile gaming lark. Having recently bought Manchester-based developer Rockpool Games, the publisher has made another acquisition.
This time, it's London-based studio Morpheme. The two companies aren't strangers: Morpheme recently developed Prism: Light The Way and Hitman: Blood Money LA for Eidos, while the publisher is also planning to re-release Morpheme's classic (in our eyes, anyway) platformer Balloon Headed Boy.
Eidos hasn't announced what Morpheme will be working on next, but the deal is a sign that the publisher is keen to continue its mobile growth. Possibly even with some games that don't have colons in the title.
Morpheme has made a habit of coming up with original games based on its own IP, for example, so we could see Eidos releasing more of those, alongside games like Championship Manager 2007 and Tomb Raider: Legend (d'oh!), which are based on existing console franchises.
