The deal, slated to be Zynga’s biggest yet, will comprise $900 million in cash and $900 million in stock, and will be completed in the third quarter, Gibeau said in an interview, Bloomberg reported.

Zynga did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The company, once known for its Facebook-based desktop games such as “FarmVille”, has been focusing on mobile-centric games and acquisitions of smaller studios such as Gram Games, Small Giant Games and the card and board games studio of Peak Games to fuel growth.
