Gamevil (or GAMEVIL, if you're reading the press release) is a South Korean mobile developer and publisher best known for the Zenonia series of action RPGs, among many others. Com2us (or Com2uS, likewise) is another South Korean mobile developer and publisher best known for the Homerun Battle series of sports games, among many others. Today Gamevil bought Com2us. Hooray for the happy couple.

These companies are so similar that it's barely surprising that they're tying the knot. Both companies have been prolific with their Android games, releasing new titles on an almost weekly basis for years. Both companies tend to lean towards anime style, even in games where they don't really fit. And perhaps most notably, both companies have been leading the charge towards the free-to-play model. And by "leading the charge," I mean they've been running, jumping, diving, cartwheeling, and smashing past the barriers of tasteful restraint. If these two companies were actually getting married, the prenup would be written in terms of dual-currency in-app purchase schemes. You can see what I mean in this editorial, which was incidentally the last time we featured a Gamevil title on this site.

Neither company is saying how much the deal cost, though early reports indicate that the deal is in the range of around $65 million USD. The press release said that the social networks for Gamevil and Com2us ("Circle" and "Hub" respectively) will be leveraged for the benefit of the new conjoined corporation. Gamevil currently claims "over 300 million downloads" across all its games and platforms.
