Grand Theft Auto parent company Take-Two just bought Zynga in a practically unprecedented $12.7 billion deal, and part of the reasoning is that it wants the opportunity to bring some of its biggest console and PC game properties to mobile.
Of particular interest to many fans will be the line-up of Take-Two games, with the likes of Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, BioShock and Mafia listed alongside a caption reading, “Opportunity to bring Take-Two’s console/PC properties to mobile & add new game modes”.
In an investor presentation following the announcement of the deal, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed the deal and presented a slideshow to investors.
Under a slide titled, ‘Product Portfolios are Highly Complementary’, Take-Two shows how the company’s respective games and studios can be used in tandem.
