A cross-platform game publisher Kongregate that is part of Modern Times Group (MTG), has acquired Surviv.io, the top-down battle royale game for web and mobile. The amount of the deal is not disclosed.
“Surviv.io marks our second acquisition in which we have acquired the game, the IP, and taken over operations.” “In 2020, we will continue this strategy of acquiring titles with strong organic communities and lasting power. This allows developers to focus their time and attention on their next hit title, and ensures their community is supported for years into the future.”
Patrick Moran, General Manager of the live operations studio at Kongregate
With the deal Kongregate will take over development of the title, which has attracted and retained “tens of millions” of players since 2017, planning to design and implement new features “for years to come.”
Earlier this year Kongregate had bought and integrated the Bit Heroes game.
“With the acquisition of Surviv.io, Kongregate and MTG are proving their commitment to marrying promising indie titles with Kongregate’s publishing capabilities, specifically its best-in-class live operations, monetization and user acquisition”, said Jan Steglich, Director of gaming investments of MTG, “ We are excited to add Surviv.io to the Kongregate first party portfolio and are looking forward to accelerating our ‘buy and build’ strategy in the near future by adding even more titles to the four acquisitions made to date.”
Jim and Emily Greer started Kongregate 10 years ago with the vision of creating an open platform for indie games with a strong focus on community engagement, as a leading mobile & PC game developer, publisher, web gaming portal, and creator of Kartridge, a new downloadable PC gaming platform.
