Zynga is on the forefront of the Facebook games revolution and now the company is expanding. The developer of Mafia Wars and FarmVille is opening a satellite Los Angeles studio in the Marina Del Rey area.
"Zynga LA will be very much like our Zynga East office in Baltimore where it will be a studio for our new games," a Zynga rep said to Gamasutra. “[Zynga is] looking to expand and scale our talent as we grow."
Amer Ajami, who worked on the Command & Conquer franchise at EA, is one of the studio's founding members and shows more of a core gaming bent at Zynga LA. "Zynga has been successful in combining the DNA of traditional gaming with that of the Internet to build a new kind of entertainment company," said the Zynga rep.
