Grasshopper Manufacture’s relationship with mobile game company DeNA is extending beyond the production of games for DeNA’s Mobage service. Well, sort of. Today, the two companies announced that they’re forming a joint venture called Grasshopper Social Network Service, Inc., and will work together to … produce games for Mobage.

DeNA is looking to build up its catalog of exclusive games to help Mobage take off outside of Japan; Grasshopper is looking for “a new world of players” to experience the company’s unique style.

Grasshopper’s other recent, high-profile partnership is with Digital Reality. Together, the two companies are working on Black Knight Sword and Sine Mora for XBLA and PSN.
