It has been announced this morning that Southpeak Interactive has acquired Gamecock Media Group. This was unexpected in our book due to the close relationship we have with both companies and we didn’t have a clue.

According to Melanie Mroz, CEO of Southpeak, on the acquisition,  “Gamecock brings us a solid slate of upcoming titles, including Legendary, Mushroom Men and Velvet Assassin and supports our strategy of working with independent developers. We are excited to give the Gamecock titles a bigger platform to succeed.”

"We are thrilled to be joining forces with SouthPeak to continue to bring great original titles from independent developers to market with a stronger sales and distribution reach,” said Mike Wilson, CEO of Gamecock. “We have followed each other’s progress closely over the last two years, and combining our team with theirs results in a very strong and well-rounded force in the market."

SouthPeak expects to ship Legendary and Mushroom Men in the current quarter.

We have emails to both companies to get further comment as at this moment this is all that has been released.
