Culver City-based game developer Scopely Inc. has officially been acquired by esports company Savvy Games Group for $4.9 billion.

The deal with Savvy, which is owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, was originally announced in April. The fund has previously invested in three other U.S.-based video game companies: Electronic Arts Inc., Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Santa Monica-based Activision Blizzard Inc.

Scopely was founded in 2011 and has developed and published game franchises such as “Star Trek Fleet Command,” “Stumble Guys,” “Yahtzee with Buddies” and, most recently, “Monopoly Go!”. It will operate as an autonomous business within Savvy’s portfolio. Ferreira and his co-CEO, Walter Driver, will at its helm.
