Sometimes all it takes to shake up the mobile landscape is the right investment – and it appears that’s just what South Korea-based Netmarble Games has done with SGN.

Variety has reported that Netmarble, considered to be the top mobile games publisher for its region, has invested a whopping $130 million into SGN, the creators of such games as The Book of Life (based on the film of the same name) and the free-to-play hit Cookie Jam. That makes the Korea-based team the largest shareholder in the company, even with the $28 million share held by co-founder and CEO Chris DeWolfe, formerly of MySpace.

Through this deal, SGN expects its games to have a bigger outreach overseas, namely in Asia. Meanwhile, Netmarble benefits as well, reaching out more to a U.S.-based audience, as well as other territories, according to the report.

“The industry is consolidating,” said DeWolfe regarding the deal. “There are increasing barriers to entry to new players, and to be a leader requires lots of capital and lots of infrastructure.”

SGN plans to use its new investment to create an “aggressive” M&A strategy for its games, with acquisitions of other game studios in the worlds, as well as better expansion into television and online marketing. Growth of international distribution is in the works as well, according to DeWolfe.

The popularity of games like Book of Life has done quite well for the team, as it “continues to grow even though the film is out-of-window basically,” said DeWolfe. That kind of strength is a good sign for Netmarble, especially when it comes to expansion in new markets.

“SGN is a rapidly growing company with proven experience in developing and servicing top grossing casual games in the West,” Netmarble CEO Youngsig Kwon said in a statement. “With SGN’s many years of experience in global marketing, I am confident that SGN will make a perfect partner for Netmarble to enter the Western market.”

SGN is expected to generate over $280 million in revenue for this year alone – although, with its expansion into new markets, that number could easily rise.
