Game ON Mid Sweden Takes Mentorship to the Next Level
Innovative Skill-Up Program gets support from leading industry lights from all over the world and big names including Sega, Ubisoft & Dice
Mid Sweden’s newest gaming hub, rapidly making its mark on the international stage, today revealed top names from leading global game companies who are flocking to support one of Europe’s most exciting upskilling opportunities for prospective game industry employees. Mentors from Ubisoft, Paradox Interactive, and Sega are amongst the first to bring their expertise to Game ON’s ambitious Skill-Up participants. The impressive roster of industry mentors continues to grow, offering unparalleled expertise and unique insights to the Game ON programme.
Mentors, including industry giant Ubisoft, will supply invaluable industry insight, feedback, and support throughout the year. With a host of experienced people leading this programme the participants are in a unique position where the mentors can directly advise on all aspects of how to develop a career within the gaming industry, whether that be business development, marketing, pitching, and other key areas for a successful game development strategy.
A large part of the success of Game ON Mid Sweden can be attributed to Patty Toledo, the irrepressible leader of the program who has tapped into her international network to recruit some of the best mentors in the industry: “Mid Sweden is the most up and coming area for the games industry, and to get the support from such innovative companies, on a global scale, to participate in the Skill-Up program amplifies to the rest of the world that mid-Sweden is now on the map”, said Toledo.. “The SkillUp program is the most comprehensive program that mid-Sweden has to offer, consolidating future thriving careers in Sweden’s growing games industry, and taking them to the next level.”
Game ON is a huge attraction for international participants who are looking for a breath of fresh air after a year of industry turmoil. The beautiful area of Västernorrland offers the perfect place to invest in individual development and contribute to the thriving Swedish economy. This rapidly growing gaming hub will undoubtedly attract participants that recognise the great potential that mid-Sweden has to offer for the gaming industry, and who are determined to gain more knowledge and experience within this $180 billion industry.
With Game ON’s new pool of mentors, they have the opportunity to teach and train the future of prospective games industry talent and will contribute enormously to the future of gaming. For candidates, the wealth of knowledge that mentors are looking to pass down is an invaluable opportunity, and undoubtedly an opportunity they will seize with both hands.
Game ON, mid-Sweden’s new creative and innovative non-profit project, grew from a desire to make waves within the gaming industry and build tangible opportunities in Vasternorrland. The popular creative hub is forging a name for mid-Sweden in international markets, as mentors are joining from all over the world to provide education, resources, and creatives from within the games industry. The main objective of the mentors is to advise, provide and inspire the program’s participants, catapulting them into success in the gaming sector, and allowing them to thrive within their new areas of expertise.

Aviamasters™ 2
New Aviamasters™ 2 from BGaming Drives Larger Payouts
Rapidly expanding content provider fuels up for another high-flying hit in this groundbreaking sequel
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is taking to the skies once again for the sequel to its award-winning Aviamasters
casual game, Aviamasters
2.
The organic growth of Aviamasters
, which made it BGaming’s biggest #Casual viral hit, inspired the decision to make the sequel. The game sees Aviamasters
soar to new heights, with improved graphics, exciting new features, and an increased maximum multiplier, which has quadrupled from x250 to x1,000.
Aviamasters
became famous across streaming platforms worldwide, with streamers and players shouting “LAND!” as they watched their planes stack up wins mid-flight. These core landing mechanics remain the same in the sequel. Players watch as their plane flies through the sky, gathering wins and collecting multipliers, all while trying to avoid dangerous obstacles and land safely.
Four booster symbols can be picked up during any flight, while the Buy Bonus mode, known as the Safe Landing feature, can guarantee a landing for x50 the player’s stake. Players should be aware that Safe Landing increases their stake on each spin and can be deactivated at any time.
Aviamasters
found success with the streaming community, and BGaming has tapped into this relationship during the creative process for Aviamasters
2. Selected streamers have provided feedback on the gameplay, ensuring it exceeds the high standards set by the original.
Aviamasters
2 also tweaks the sound and visuals to appeal to a wider audience. These changes make the game more casual-looking, inviting players to enjoy its fast rounds and unpredictable features. Like the original, it will be added to BGaming’s #Casual portfolio.
It is not just players and streamers who will benefit from Aviamasters
2. The game can also be customised to reflect operator branding, providing the title with a wide reach and high marketing potential. The original game delivered viral moments that converted into traffic and big hits for operators, and the sequel promises more of the same.
Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The first Aviamasters
was a massive hit for us, with players loving its signature “LAND!” mechanics. With Aviamasters
2, we have kept everything that players loved about the original title and improved upon it.
The game is bigger and better than its predecessor, building on its success with greater winning potential and even more gameplay features. We can’t wait to hear even more shouts of “LAND!” coming from players when the sequel hits casino lobbies.”

Motorola Becomes the Official Smartphone Partner of FIFA Heroes Game
Motorola, a Lenovo company, has become the official smartphone partner of the recently announced FIFA Heroes game, published by Solace. FIFA Heroes is an arcade-style, 5-a-side football title that, for the first time, features real players, mascots and fictional IP characters on the same pitch. This partnership brings together Motorola’s cutting-edge mobile technology and the game’s immersive gaming experience, creating a seamless experience for fans to enjoy the world’s most popular sport in a fun and interactive way.
As the official smartphone partner for the FIFA World Cup 2026, Motorola is committed to bringing the excitement of the tournament directly into consumers’ hands. FIFA Heroes delivers on that promise, offering fans innovative, mobile-first experiences that keep them connected to this unique moment in time.
With this partnership, Motorola’s presence will extend across multiple touchpoints. Motorola will appear directly within the FIFA Heroes game, and many upcoming Motorola smartphones will include instant access to the newest FIFA-licensed mobile game. Fans can also download the game from the Google Play Store, making it simple to play from anywhere.
All Motorola users will gain access to exclusive in-game content designed just for them, including power up tokens and gems, game emotes, a retro razr goal celebration, playable characters, and more. This content is part of a broader collaboration that will unfold through a series of global activations, leading up to and throughout the FIFA World Cup 26, giving fans around the globe new ways to connect with the action, on and off the pitch.
Beyond the content itself, the partnership introduces a gaming experience designed specifically for the brand new razr fold, redefining what a foldable form factor can bring to the gaming space. This exclusive experience optimizes the device’s large 8.1″ unfolded display so that players get an expanded view of the pitch that keeps the action fully in focus. Plus, the extra screen space makes it so that controls can sit comfortably below gameplay for an unobstructed display, and also gives players the flexibility to customise their layout for optimal ergonomics.
“This collaboration goes beyond gaming—it’s about delivering an experience that feels faster, smoother, and more connected for every fan. By working closely with Solace and FIFA, we’ve optimized FIFA Heroes for Motorola devices so players get the best possible performance right out of the box. It’s a powerful way to show how our technology enhances the way people play, connect, and experience entertainment, and we’re excited to share even more in the months ahead,” said François LaFlamme, Chief Marketing Officer at Motorola.
