Newsbrief: The Playforge, the development team behind App Store success stories Zombie Farm and Zombie Life, has been acquired by Saban Brands, best known for owning the Power Rangers franchise.

Zombie Farm was the top-grossing freemium game on iOS in 2010 and third highest grossing in 2011, with more than 37 million downloads to date.

Through this acquisition, Saban hopes to extend the success of Playforge's titles via licensing, merchandising and media opportunities, while also bolstering the company's future development projects.
