Games Global and its exclusive studio partner, Fortune Factory Studios, have launched a high-voltage finale to 2025 with Gold Blitz Express, the latest iteration of its dynamic franchise.

Building on the proven popular foundations of its predecessors, Gold Blitz Express retains the titular cash collect mechanic and bonus choice, but amps up the sequel with a brand-new Blitz Express feature and deeper bonus progression.

The Blitz Express mechanic is activated when a train symbol lands on reel six on any spin. A train steams across the reels pulling up to 20 carts, with each awarding a cash prize or one of four fixed jackpots, the total value of which is collected and awarded.

The studio has also elevated Gold Blitz spins with the introduction of an Accumulation Trail, which collects each Blitz symbol that hits. Every third collected awards additional spins and an increasing multiplier, with up to 14 spins and a 5x maximum multiplier, surging win potential.

Supplementing the action further is the integration of Games Global’s Rising Rewards jackpot, where every coin boosts the prize pot up to 200x, which can be randomly paid out.

The Gold Blitz series continues to define industry trends from a player control perspective. In addition to the bonus choice and bonus buy options, a Win Booster doubles the likelihood of activating features, while Bonus Recharge offers an opportunity to purchase an extra spin following feature completion.

Gold Blitz Express represents the latest evolution of one of the industry’s most diverse, battle-tested game franchises, spotlighting Fortune Factory Studios’ continued commitment to creating products that perform.

Alexander Monsma, Team Manager, Game Sales at Games Global, said: “2025 marks the fourth consecutive year that we have unveiled a Gold Blitz game toward the end of December – it is the perfect way to ring in the new year.

“Gold Blitz Express is the most feature-rich upgrade to date, electrifying the environment with even more variety and potential.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added: “The Gold Blitz brand remains one of the strongest franchises in our portfolio, and Gold Blitz Express builds on that success by extending the series with genuine depth. The introduction of new elements, such as the Blitz Express feature, feels like a natural evolution of the brand.

“It’s a fitting way to close out 2025, with the continued performance of the series reflecting Fortune Factory’s ability to create games with lasting appeal and sustained engagement. We can’t wait to showcase our upcoming lineup within this franchise and more as we enter 2026.”
