La Ciudad autónoma acudirá de nuevo a Madrid para reforzar su compromiso con la Industria

La próxima edición de Interazar volverá a ser el gran punto de encuentro de la Industria del Juego española y contará, una vez más, con la participación activa del Gobierno de Ceuta, que reafirma así su compromiso firme y continuado con un Sector del todo determinante para su modelo económico.

Ceuta vuelve a la Feria Española del Juego los próximos días 28 y 29 de abril en IFEMA con un mensaje claro: la Ciudad se ha convertido en uno de los grandes polos de atracción para la Industria del Juego y la tecnología, ya no sólo en España, sino en Europa. La presencia institucional ceutí servirá para continuar mostrando las ventajas fiscales únicas de la Ciudad, su seguridad jurídica y un ecosistema cada vez más maduro, que ya alberga a buena parte de las principales compañías del Juego online que operan en España.

La apuesta del Gobierno de Ceuta por el Sector no es coyuntural. Los datos avalan un modelo que ha generado empleo cualificado, incrementando de forma notable la recaudación pública y situando a la Ciudad como un hub tecnológico de referencia. Interazar se presenta así, como el foro natural para reforzar la relación con las empresas ya implantadas y para abrir nuevas vías de colaboración con Operadores y proveedores que buscan un entorno competitivo y estable desde el que crecer.

La combinación entre un certamen con identidad propia como Interazar, y una Administración que ha sabido entender el potencial del Sector, convierte esta participación en una muestra más de una estrategia coherente y sostenida en el tiempo.

Sixteen Tons Entertainment, the studio behind the award-winning EMERGENCY series, today announced the appointment of Sebastian Nußbaum as Chief Creative Officer. A lifelong fan of the franchise and an accomplished creative leader in the European games industry, Nußbaum joins CEO Jan Richter’s leadership team to guide the next phase of EMERGENCY’s growth.

Nußbaum’s connection to EMERGENCY spans back to the franchise’s earliest titles, drawn to its unique blend of authentic simulation and strategic gameplay. This personal passion, combined with Sixteen Tons’ recent performance, made joining the studio an easy decision.

Over 200% Revenue Growth for EMERGENCY HQ
Since Jan Richter became CEO in mid-2024, EMERGENCY HQ has achieved remarkable growth, with monthly revenue increasing by more than 200% in just 18 months — eight years after its original launch. The growth has been almost entirely organic, fueled by consistent content updates, live events, and expansion into international markets, particularly the United States. The studio now employs approximately 35 team members.

From Niche Franchise to Billion-Dollar Potential
At Wooga, Nußbaum served as Vice President Creative, leading the development of June’s Journey and Pearl’s Peril, turning them into globally successful titles with June’s Journey generating over $1 billion in lifetime revenue. He now brings this expertise to Sixteen Tons, aiming to scale EMERGENCY into its next era.

Leadership Comments
“The growth of EMERGENCY HQ over the past 18 months demonstrates the true potential of this brand — and we are still early,” said Jan Richter, CEO of Sixteen Tons. “Sebastian brings not only creative vision and passion, but also the operational expertise to elevate the franchise and redefine its genre. His decision to join our team validates our ambitions and motivates us to raise the bar even further.”

Nußbaum added:
“What Jan and the team have achieved with EMERGENCY HQ is truly impressive. The dynamic growth, clarity of strategy, and strength of the team made it clear that something special is happening at Sixteen Tons. I’m excited to contribute to the evolution of this brand and help realize its enormous potential.”

Sixteen Tons at GDC 2026
Sixteen Tons Entertainment will showcase its development at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, March 9–13. CEO Jan Richter will present insights into the transformation of EMERGENCY HQ and its record revenue growth, while Sebastian Nußbaum will be available for interviews and media engagements.
