This is a huge moment for us. We’re very humbled to share our exciting win at this year’s TIGA Game Industry Awards as Publisher of the Year! Our teams are still flabbergasted that we won a category contested by various publishers from the triple-A scene.
Hello there! I’m Pedro, CTO of Kwalee, and I’m very excited to share the news that we now have a new office in Portugal.
Located right alongside the beautiful Tagus River in the city of Almada, in the metropolitan area of Lisboa, our fourth new studio marks Kwalee’s official debut in mainland Europe.
Welcome to Gamebiz Recap, where we take a look at what’s new and interesting in the last quarter that has flown by. Whether it’s to catch up on the latest scoop or to gather some quick talking points for your interview with our headhunters, all the latest on Kwalee and the industry as a whole is right here for your reference.
After a year of relentlessly putting out chart-topping games, working with talented game developers, and engaging with our communities to make our mobile games the best they can be, our efforts have paid off.
The Mobile Game Awards event has named Kwalee as the Best Mobile Game Publisher in the entire global games industry in a category contested by the likes of Zynga, Voodoo and Tencent.
At BAFTA, central London, we were gathered among the global mobile game industry’s best and brightest at a ceremony hosted by Pocket Gamer publisher Steel Media.
It’s official: our flagship game Draw it has surpassed 100 million downloads! The quick-fire doodle-’em-up has long been the most downloaded game in our list, inching ever closer to the magic number, but to see it soar beyond 100 million is something we never would have imagined at the project’s outset.
What’s the game about? Well, it’s a drawing game that’s all about speed. Doodle as many word prompts as you can and finish first before your opponents do.
There’s a new FPS in town and it’s about to bring a whole lotta hell. We’re super excited to announce that the Kwalee PC & Console team is publishing Scathe, our newest and third PC & Console title! Developed by Damage State, the gamedev studio consists of three ex-AAA veterans with over 40 years of combined industry experience.
UPDATE: We finally hit 1 billion downloads on a global scale! Read up about our journey with our official press release on hitting the giant milestone. (Or check out our CEO David Darling’s blog post to see what he says about the experience!)
Nobody in the games industry has announced any acquisitions lately, right? Phew, okay! We’re thrilled to announce the first acquisition in our 10-year run, with Tictales joining the Kwalee family as a casual games partner.
In what could only be described as one of our proudest moments this year, our company won not one, but TWO awards at the TIGA Awards ceremony! The first was for Best Large Studio, and the other for Outstanding Leadership; granted to our COO Jason Falcus.
UPDATE: Thanks to all our supporters for the help, SpecialEffect raised £115,517! Stay up to date with what’s happening at Kwalee through our social media channels.
2020 was a difficult time for pretty much everyone. For us, it was challenging in that a lot of the cogs in our workflow had to change. But it all paid off in the end! With your love and support, this news was made possible: Bake It has officially passed 50 MILLION downloads!
This month at Kwalee, we’re starting something new: This Month At Kwalee!
It’s a truly exciting time for us right now and we want to share what’s going on with you with this new monthly update feature.
We want to talk about our activities and events, the things we’re sponsoring, our place in gaming industry news, and (of course) the games themselves.
This month at Kwalee is just the beginning!
