CD Projekt sets up mobile games unit

WSE-listed video games developer CD Projekt has acquired the majority stake in the company Spokko. The new subsidiary will work on a yet-to-be-announced project for mobile devices, the company said. "We've known people behind Spokko for a few years and they came to us with an interesting idea based on one of our brands that we decided to invest in. We want to bring fresh ideas and solutions to our business, and what the Spokko team is planning is for the new studio will be largely independent. We want it to have its own identity and creative space, obviously guided by the philosophy underlying the activities of the CD Projekt Group,” said the company’s CEO Adam Kiciński. The new studio will have the rights to use CD Projekt IPs, including the Witcher series.
