Culver City-based mobile game company Scopely has acquired another studio: 'Scrabble GO' developer PierPlay
from The Chernin Group and Advance, the investment company founded and run by the Newhouse family.
“Our studio ecosystem, which includes both internal and external creative leaders, is built upon the goal of working with the world’s best talent to create the most immersive experiences possible. PierPlay is another example of a unique studio relationship that allowed us to successfully tackle a different game genre and IP," Tim O'Brien, Scopely CEO, said.
PierPlay co-founder and Chief Executive Lorenzo Nuvoletta will continue to manage the game studio, which will combine forces with other game makers in the Scopely ecosystem to take on even more projects together. Prior to PierPlay, Nuvoletta held positions across the games industry at many companies including Playtika and King.
“The success we've seen with Scrabble GO has been amazing and we look forward to tackling more exciting projects in the development slate," said Nuvoletta. "Having experienced the momentum and growth of the business firsthand, we are extremely excited to officially be part of Scopely.”
