Digital Chocolate expands to India, Spain

Digital Chocolate Inc. expanded its global footprint, adding development studios in India and Spain.
The San Mateo, Calif.-based publisher picked up Small Device Mobile Technologies of Bangalore, India, which specializes in porting games across networks and devices. Microjocs Mobile from Barcelona, Spain, was acquired for its “studio output capacity” as well as its experience in multi-platform gaming.
Digital Chocolate, which specializes in community-themed mobile games, declined to disclose terms of either deal.
“Digital Chocolate now ranks as one of the largest independent, pure-play mobile game publishers with more than 300 employees worldwide,” said founder and CEO Trip Hawkins. “We will continue to build on our development operation and effectively leverage our technology investments to deliver high-quality, original games for our customers on a global scale.”
