Our take
Malmö-based Sharkmob is a game development company, founded in 2017 by a group of development vets from Ubisoft's Massive Studio and Hitman maker IO Interactive.
Currently, the company has one game on the market, Bloodhunt, released in early 2022, the game quickly took the battle royale genre by storm. Since its release, it has attracted a great deal of attention from some of the biggest names in the gaming world and has on average 30,000 daily players. Sharkmob also has two more projects underway, while not much is known about them yet, they are both highly anticipated in the gaming world.
Acquired by the massive conglomerate Tencent in 2019, Sharkmob has been able to grow its team and begin work on multiple games at the same time. The Malmö-based game development company also recently opened the doors to its second studio in London, focused on expanding its team, Sharkmob are looking towards an exciting future.
