Yahaha Studios was founded in 2020 by a pioneering group of Unity veterans, with the aim to support everyone to create, publish, share and play content on its YAHAHA platform. The social entertainment platform supports users of all levels to create 3D content: lowering barriers to entry with no-code creation, tutorials and now over a million assets. YAHAHA has grown since it launched in Early Alpha this year, and recently announced it had secured a $40M investment to further support creators.

One of our goals is to continuously give our creators new materials to design and engage with, whilst lowering the barriers for 3D content creation.
“We love to see all of the amazing creations that are developed on YAHAHA, using our extensive range of assets. We have partnered with great renowned asset marketplaces this year, such as Synty Studios and CG Trader, and we are looking forward to some more partnership opportunities in 2023.”
David Mullich, Director of the critically acclaimed Heroes of Might and Magic III, said: “I find YAHAHA to be a great platform for quickly and easily transforming my designs into playable games. It is also a valuable tool for enabling game design students to create professional-looking prototypes without first becoming adept in programming language. Anyone who is interested in game development can leap into YAHAHA, I would definitely recommend you try it out!”
YAHAHA has partnered with multiple asset marketplaces to give its users a wider range of creative and diverse materials. The first marketplace, CG Trader, was announced earlier this year; with over 1.5 million models in its marketplace, CGTrader is truly pioneering and one hundred percent designer-friendly. YAHAHA has also partnered with Synty Studios, an innovative 3D asset publisher. This partnership introduced even more high-quality, game-ready assets, so YAHAHA users can develop more diverse and fun virtual spaces.
YAHAHA is the next generation of entertainment and will be sponsoring and hosting the 2023 Global Game Jam, to give creators a chance to unleash their creativity on the platform.

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”

Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore.

We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
