Our take
The mobile game industry is rapidly growing, with hundreds of thousands of games available to download. But, to achieve success, a game not only needs to come from a great idea, but to be published and marketed successfully. Kwalee, founded in 2011, is one of the world’s most successful mobile game publishers, creating and publishing innovative and hypercasual games.
Publishing with Kwalee offers game creators the opportunity to make their game successful faster and more easily. Ideas can be submitted online, with Kwalee handling initial marketing and collecting data on performance to fuel improvements, as well as providing monetisation support. In addition to taking on external projects, Kwalee encourages staff to pitch ideas for games, capitalising on the creativity across its teams and rewarding successful ideas.
Kwalee has launched a number of games, its most successful being Draw It which has over 100 million downloads – the success of which enabled the company to grow operations, now boasting numerous offices across the globe. In 2021, the company was named Best Large Studio at the TIGA Awards, as well as winning the world’s best mobile game publisher title at the 2022 Mobile Game Awards. Impressively, it has now surpassed 1 billion downloads across its titles, with no reason to expect anything but strong performance for its future.
