Helsinki-based Metacore Games, a mobile game developer, announced that it has acquired animation and illustration studio PiñataHEL Oy, also known as Piñata, by purchasing all of its shares for an undisclosed amount.
Metacore and Piñata have been working closely since the release of Metacore’s debut game, Merge Mansion, in 2020. The acquisition enhances Metacore’s position as one of Europe’s rapidly growing mobile game companies known for crafting narrative-driven games.
It also helps level up the company’s creative storytelling and augment its in-house capacity for top-notch marketing production.
“Our mission is to create entertainment with our games but also with our marketing and community building,” says Mika Tammenkosk, CEO of Metacore.
