German publisher/developer InnoGames has announced that it will be expanding into the North American market soon. The publisher launched in 2007 and currently boasts six online titles and a community of over 65 million players. The company has seen success with online games like Tribal Wars, The West, and Grepolis, and Facebook titles like WestWars. In 2010, InnoGames not only established a Korean subsidiary, InnoGames Korea, but it also acquired the license to publish the Asian title Bounty Hounds Online.

"We managed to continue our dynamic growth in 2010 and reached some milestones for InnoGames as a company. A primary reason for our success was the quick and worldwide roll-out of Grepolis," InnoGames managing director and founder Michael Zillmer said.

The company also recently hired former EA executive vice president, Dr. Gerhard Florin, as chairman of the advisory board.

"We are confident that Gerhard's expertise and contacts will help us continue to grow," Zillmer continued.

"InnoGames has grown rapidly. It has a strong market position, especially due to its unique browser based games that appeal to both casual and core gamers. InnoGames has a very promising future as a global player, attracting customers all over the world. I am looking forward to being part of that future,” said Dr. Florin.

The company currently has over 150 employees from 11 countries, and it looks to expand that number to 200 by the end of this year.
