Los Angeles - Vivendi Games announced on Thursday that it has acquired two game development studios, Secret Lair Studios and Studio Ch'in. Financial terms of the transactions were not disclosed. The purchase of Shanghai, China-based Studio Ch'in must still be approved by the Chinese government, but will become a studio within Vivendi's Sierra Online division alongside Issaquah, Wash.-based Secret Lair. Vivendi said that both new studios will contribute to Sierra Online's library of titles for Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade, as well as develop online PC games and titles for other consoles. "Working together, our teams in Los Angeles, Seattle and Shanghai, now form a significant internal development organization focused on creating cutting edge online entertainment with global appeal," said Sierra Online president Ed Zobrist.
