Zynga Inc., the world’s largest social game developer, today announced the official launch of Zynga Studio-I in Bangalore. After launching operations in India one year ago, the expanded studio will develop new game mechanics, in-game features and creative elements to delight users across an array of Zynga’s most popular games.
Zynga also announced plans to double the headcount in India during 2011, further reinforcing its commitment to this market.
As the largest Zynga studio outside of the US, Studio-I will focus on innovative game development to create new features that will delight players. Additionally, the studio will be engaged in full life-cycle game development the same as other already existing studios.
Zynga India will continue to recruit engineers, product managers, game designers, artists and senior management to strategically grow operations. These professionals are expected to have an eye for gaming and experience of handling large volume environments, graphics, networking, cloud computing and security among other expertise.
Known across the globe for its widely popular games such as CityVille, FarmVille, Mafia Wars, YoVille and FishVille, Zynga is committed to continually enhancing the player experience. The expansion of Studio-I comes on the heels of the recent launch of Zynga Game Cards in India, which provide an easy way for players to purchase virtual goods within games. These user-focused initiatives will continue along with activities such as fan and community events.
