RedLynx, Finnish developer of Trials HD, has been acquired by French publisher Ubisoft.
In a press release, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot praised the quality of the studio's output, though the pace at which it works, with over 100 titles released since its inception in 2000, can't have hurt either.
"The team at RedLynx has developed exceptionally strong digital brands that stand out for their high replay value, their long-tail sales and their multiplatform positioning," he said. "We are delighted to welcome RedLynx to the Ubisoft family.
"Their expertise in asynchronous online games and physics-based game mechanics provides us with a great opportunity to bring their powerful brands, most notably Trials, to an even broader range of fast-growing digital platforms."
RedLynx CEO Tero Virtala added: "We were attracted by Ubisoft’s focus on creativity and quality, and the fact that they base their long-term strategy on both the traditional and digital distribution video game markets.
"The reality of today’s market is not about platforms, it’s about creating excellent gaming experiences that consumers can play on any device or screen they like.
"As part of the Ubisoft team, RedLynx will be able to focus even more intently on creating stand-out, excellent brands that push the boundaries of online gaming in many new growth areas. With Ubisoft, a wider audience will get the chance to enjoy our games, we‘ll generate more value for our brands, and also leverage our experience more broadly in digital distribution channels."
