KingsIsle Heads To China

Plano-based KingsIsle Entertainment, the online video game developer behind title Wizard101, said yesterday that it is in a deal to bring the game to China. KingIsle said it has inked an agreement with Taomee Holdings Limited, a children's entertainment and media company, to launch the title in China. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. The move is the second big international move for the firm, which had said earlier this year that it is rolling out in Europe with a German online game publisher, Gameforge.
