Our take

Big Viking Games has been betting on HTML5 as the online social game developing language of choice for years. Now, with the decline of Adobe Flash, that bet has come good. In fact, some pitch Big Viking Games’ language of choice as the future of online social gaming, as it makes for embeddable, frictionless games that bypass the hefty commissions of app stores. So it’s perhaps curious why Big Viking Games have yet to expand their game portfolio beyond the two major hits they created years ago.

There are indications that Big Viking Games is working on a new mobile project, which would be significant, and clues suggest the project will engage with the blockchain and crypto space, which would be even more so.

Blockchain games look set to soar in popularity in the coming years, and with Big Viking Games’ strong but ageing portfolio such a novel and potentially game-changing project could prove a hugely lucrative hit.
