Company mission

To offer a game for you, that satisfies your craving for eSports.

Our take

By 2026, it is thought that there will be towards one billion eSports fans worldwide with 70% of them playing mobile games. Given this stat, Berlin-based Legendary Play builds mobile games for eSports fans.

The company is well positioned, not only given its founding teams background as veterans of the Berlin games and eSports scene, but because this fanbase is extremely passionate but has been long underserved. The company's most notable game, Rivals, enables users to coach an eSports team and has found international success.

Indeed, whilst the company has started with manager games, the long-term vision is to develop a varied portfolio of eSport games from casual and role-playing games to story adventure games. Recent series A funding will be invested into developing these new titles.
