Newsbrief: Mobile publisher Playrix has acquired Armenian casual mobile game developer Plexonic for an undisclosed fee. 

Founded in 2008, Plexonic has crated over 60 casual titles including Panda Jam, Pet Savers, and Stretch. The studio will be rebranded as Playrix Armenia moving forward, and will continue to be led by current CEO Gevorg Sargsyan. 

Commenting on the move, Playrix co-founder Dmitri Bukhman said it wants to help Playrix Aermnia become the largest video game company in the region. The studio has already started work on its next project.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
