Korean F2P publisher Ncsoft officially announced the name of its new mobile gaming division, Iron Tiger. Iron Tiger is located in San Mateo, California, and is focused on developing original mobile games, as well as titles inspired by NCsoft’s existing game portfolio. NCsoft hasn’t traditionally been strong in mobile games. But it’s now looking to invest much more aggressively. So following from a $5 million investment in ex-Kabam startup This Game Studio, it’s announced now the new mobile gaming division in the US.
“NCsoft is accelerating and the launch of Iron Tiger is a key step in enabling us to develop extraordinary and innovative games more rapidly and across more platforms”, said Jesse Taylor, senior vice president of Mobile at NCsoft West. “We are looking for the best and brightest minds in all of gaming to become part of the Iron Tiger and NCsoft West teams”.
Iron Tiger is staffing up to support three distinct game development teams as well as a self-contained mobile publishing group. The studio will grow to more than 100 new employees over the next year. Its location in San Mateo, situated between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, is ideally suited to be convenient to the area’s top technology and gaming talent.
