Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU), a leading global developer and publisher of free-to-play games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced the acquisition of community-driven App, Poke Radar.

Built by a small team of Pokemon GO enthusiasts and relying on information submitted by its community of users – Poke Radar’s mission is to help players of the year’s most popular mobile game “catch ‘em all.” That team will join Glu Mobile and continue to offer its community the same experience they love. Having worked on the development of other apps with millions of downloads worldwide, the Poke Radar team will continue their innovative work as part of Glu.

“I am thrilled to welcome such a talented team of developers to the Glu Mobile family,” said Niccolo de Masi, Glu Chairman and CEO. “Poke Radar is a unique property which was built swiftly and in a nimble manner. I look forward to the significant contributions we expect this team to make at Glu.”

“I and the rest of the Poke Radar team couldn’t be more excited about joining the Glu Mobile team,” said Poke Radar Co-Founder Braydon Batungbacal. “We built Poke Radar with a lean team from the ground up and are excited to see what the future brings with the support of such a respected publisher behind us.”

Glu has agreed to pay total cash consideration of $500,000 for all assets associated with the Poke Radar application.
