Monty Kerr, CEO of Monumental, said in a statement, "Boundless is one of the most social and engaging gaming experiences we've come across. We're thrilled to welcome Boundless to the Monumental family as as we continue to expand our portfolio of unique and engaging games."

James Austin, Director of Turbulenz, added: "As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of Boundless, we are delighted that the dynamic universe created by our dedicated community has found its place forever. Monumental is the perfect partner for the future of Boundless with its team that is deeply experienced, passionate about games and proven to operate live games at scale."
