German based game publisher Frogster International Pictures is expanding its reach over the pond. Today the company announced the launch of its US subsidiary, titled Frogster America. Its interim CEO is Sean Kauppinen, who previously worked at Sony Online, Ubisoft and other game companies.

Frogster America's first product will be the US launch of the fantasy free-to-play MMO Runes of Magic. The new US business is setting up the servers to run the US portion of the game and expects the commercial launch of Runes of Magic in North America by the end of the year. There's no word yet what other games Frogster America plans to release.
