Just yesterday, we told you that Ritual Entertainment, the development house responsible for CounterStrike and Quake 4, was acquired by casual game developer, MumboJumbo. In a related report, it seems that Ritual's CEO, Ken Harward will see this development as something shocking as he had been telling weeks ago that Ritual would remain independent in spite of the shake-up in the management.
Harward mentioned to GamesIndustry.biz that "the owners, Richard Gray and Rob Atkins, have always stressed the company's independence. So I expect it to continue to be independent. We're not going anywhere. We've got multiple teams running, as usual."
As mentioned in our report, this development is quite weird as it is unusual for a mainstream game developer to be a part of a casual game publisher. But MumboJumbo founder Ron Dimant believes that the acquisition is in line with their plans, he continued by saying that:
The combination of Ritual's high-end, multi-platform expertise and our own industry-leading publishing model will set the bar for quality and sophistication in casual games and create a major industry powerhouse.
Out of curiosity, we can't wait to see just what kind of games they would produce.
