Yodo1 starts up global mobile publishing, signs ex-Ensemble devs

Newsbrief: Chinese mobile game publisher Yodo1 today revealed its full plans to expand its operations outside of China, with a publishing platform in place with which it will publish third-party mobile games on a global scale. The company has previously talked to Gamasutra about expanding to Western markets, launching a social service outside of China. Now the company says that its own Western publishing efforts will begin next month with Cavemania from BonusXP, which will be available in regions like the U.S., Canada, Europe, Korea, and Russia. Notably, the BonusXP team is made up of ex-Ensemble Studios staffers. Yodo1 says that it plans to publish many other titles for iOS and Android in the coming months in Western countries.
