(Reuters) - Zynga Inc said on Wednesday it would buy mobile game ad network Chartboost and raised its full-year bookings forecast, counting on robust performance of titles such as "Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells" and the expected launch of "Farmville 3".
A serial acquirer, the company will buy Chartboost for about $250 million in cash, and the deal comes over two months after the purchase of San Francisco-based game studio Echtra Games.
