Reading Time: 2 minutes
The studio shares its expansion, plans, and new developments
The ELA Games team has successfully concluded its attendance at SBC Lisbon, where the studio showcased its latest game launches, expansion plans, and roadmap going forward.
During the three-day summit, guests visited ELA Games’ booth to demo new exciting titles, such as Buffalo Force and Shoot Happens, directly on mobile devices at a special installation. The installation highlighted the studio’s cross-platform capabilities, which allow players to enjoy a seamless gaming experience across both mobile and desktop.
New Games on Display
The team spotlighted several new developments. Buffalo Force, a visually rich journey across the North American plains, drew strong attention for its art style and immersiveness, alongside engaging Hold & Win mechanics. The studio’s latest and boldest release, Shoot Happens, took centre stage due to its implementation of the Winpot mechanic in an action-packed instant shooter format. Visitors were drawn to the decision-making aspect of the game as they managed when to cash out and when to continue, as well as facing off several increasingly more valuable monsters and a recurring boss feature for big rewards.
Beside the mobile installation was a special claw machine where visitors could win prizes, nodding to ELA Games’ trademark title Cash Crab. These unique displays were impactful attractions that showed the studio’s creative ability to realise its development philosophy in engaging ways.
Expanding Market Reach
SBC Lisbon was a chance for the team to catch up with valuable partners and network with new connections. The team celebrated key expansion milestones, securing market entries in Sweden, Denmark, Greece, and Serbia. Along with these new market entries came the announcement of new key partnerships to help expand reach and visibility to new player bases.
Roadmap Ahead
The ELA Games team also shared the studio’s roadmap going forward with key partners, outlining its ambitious plans for the year ahead. It shared details and sneak previews of upcoming games, such as Piñatas Fiesta, Cash Train, and Witche’s Book, titles that contribute to the studio’s balanced portfolio mixing creativity, unique gameplay mechanics, and its signature visually rich art style.
Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director, commented on the studio’s attendance at the summit, “SBC Lisbon was an incredible opportunity to connect with existing and new partners and share all the new developments we’ve worked on behind the scenes. From the debut of our exciting new games like Buffalo Force and Shoot Happens to meaningful conversations about our expansion plans and roadmap, this event showed us how far ELA Games has come and where we’re headed next.”
