“We are thrilled to announce this news so early in our journey with GiG Games. Normally, a game provider enters one market at a time, however, with our strength from being a division within GiG’s ecosystem, we are able to enter multiple regulated markets at the same time. Regulated markets are the future of our industry and it is part of our core strategy to be present in every regulated market.” MD at GiG Games, Mathias Larsson explained.
“The UK market is one of the most competitive in Europe. With our partnership with Jade Rabbit, we have the expertise to build games that will be built primarily for the UK market, we are confident our games will be successful. We have seen the market welcome our first game in a positive way.”
Jade Rabbit Lead Way
The company announced their first contract with a games studio, Jade Rabbit, last month and a number of games will be directly built onto GiG Games platform.
This six-game agreement is a testament to Jade Rabbit capabilities and potential. The partnership will see the first game launch in the first half of 2019. Four games in total are scheduled for release next year and the remaining two in 2020.
GiG’s strategy is to release more games on an annual basis and to land more deals with premium studios across the world in order to diversify its offering with local games for local markets.
GiG is currently in the certification process for their games in Colombia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Spain, Sweden, and the USA.
