Square Enix has announced the opening of a new studio based in London called Square Enix London Mobile. The studio is focused on developing "high-quality, free-to-play mobile games" and is developing two games based on Tomb Raider and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

"At Square Enix London Mobile, our goal is to move the world through play and in order to do this, we need to grow our team with even more unique voices, varieties of perspectives, and creative energy," said Square Enix London Mobile studio head Ed Perkins.
