Microsoft has inked a deal to acquire Vancouver, Canada-based game developer BigPark Inc., which created or produced successful franchises like FIFA Soccer,NBA Street, and the Need for Speed series. Financial terms of the acquisition weren’t disclosed, but Microsoft has been working with BigPark for some time.
Microsoft plans to integrate BigPark into Microsoft Game Studios, where they will continue to work on a so-far unannounced exclusive Xbox 360 game. The acquisition is another step in Microsoft’s strategy to expand the Xbox platform through the development of appealing, exclusive content.
