Newsbrief: The Walking Dead: No Man's Land developer Next Games has acquired mixed-reality specialist Lume Games for an undisclosed fee. 

According to PocketGamer.biz, the studio was purchased by Next in February this year, and has now been fully integrated into the company's development team. 

Like Next, Lume was based in Helsinki, Finland, and had been working on mixed reality games along with a mixed reality "game service platform." Hidden Heroes, a barcode-enhanced fantasy battle game, is the studio's most notable release to date. 

Next plans to work with its new recruits to create an augmented reality title featuring location-based mechanics and gameplay.
