IronMonkey and Firemint &#8211; to form <strong>Firemonkeys<\/strong>. These two studios have entertained over 50 million players in 2012 alone with stellar titles including <em>Flight Control<\/em>, <em>SPY mouse <\/em>and <em>Real Racing<\/em> from Firemint, and <em>Mass Effect Infiltrator<\/em>, <em>Dead Space<\/em> and <em>The Sims FreePlay<\/em> from IronMonkey. Based in Melbourne, Australia, both studios have been developing mobile games for over a decade and combining the two teams makes <strong>Firemonkeys<\/strong> Australia\u2019s largest game development studio.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams look forward to the unification with Rob Murray, Executive Producer of Firemint commenting, \u201cIronMonkey and Firemint have solid reputations for producing well-known games and we are excited to have the opportunity to share best practices, technology and resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By aligning the strategy of IronMonkey and Firemint, EA is able to create an even more focused team of passionate individuals who are dedicated to developing high-quality mobile game experiences. This merge in the mobile space is resulting in positive overall growth for the <strong>Firemonkeys<\/strong> team, as the studio is now hiring for several positions. Fans should expect to see progressive development efforts with upcoming launch and project announcements in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth of these studios have produced award-winning games and we believe combining the incredible talent pool in Melbourne, as well as leveraging the EA brand, sets us up for further success in the mobile arena,\u201d adds Tony Lay, GM of IronMonkey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Firemonkeys<\/strong> will continue to work on separate products in addition to collaborating on new ones out of the EA Melbourne office.
