Electronic Arts announced today that it has acquired Industrial Toys, a developer known for the mobile titles Midnight Star and Midnight Star: Renegade.
Industrial Toys was started by Alex Seropian, the co-founder and former CEO of Bungie Studios, and former executive at Disney Interactive. Seropian founded Industrial Toys in 2012, announcing their first game Midnight Star later that same year.
“Creating breakthrough games takes passionate developers and incredible creativity, and each time we’ve worked with the Industrial Toys team, we’ve been inspired by their unique approach,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President of EA’s Worldwide Studios. “We’re thrilled to have them join our studio organization, pursue new ideas together and bring amazing new games to our players.”
