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!
UPDATE: Thanks to all our amazing participants of the event, it’s been great to see everyone connect with each other and see so many brilliant Hyper Casual games! Follow us on our social media channels to get the latest on our events and webinars.
A recent ranking of UK-based app publishers, conducted by the leading app analytics firm App Annie, has positioned us as the Number One UK mobile games publisher and the top British app publisher across all categories in the private sector!
‘To fully embrace digital distribution through great digital marketing, to propel high-quality games to a massive global audience.’ This, in a sentence, was the goal of Kwalee when we first established the company. Many things have changed in the years since then, but this core mission has served us well and we’ve never deviated from it.
That’s what makes it so pleasing to have surpassed half a billion downloads across our catalogue of games, a testament to the inspired work of our team and serious validation of our original vision!
UPDATE: Thanks to all our VIPs for joining us at the Hyper Casual Conference. We hope the insights will help you build a chart-topping success in game development. Follow us on social media for the latest news on our events!
