Play’n GO announced the release of Troll Hunters 2 into the market today, a sequel to their hit 2013 slot Troll Hunters.

After a hugely successful exclusivity period with Kindred, Trolls Hunters 2 is now being introduced to the market on general release.

The game was a big hit with the operator who announced it in September last year with a campaign under the hashtag #2019GameOfTheYear.

Troll Hunters 2 is a gridslot centred around the Troll Hunters, Ylva, Borghild and Astrid, protecting their village form a fearsome troll threat. Once again, Play’n GO have taken their popular gridslot format and tweaked it to bring a new dimension to their brand of entertainment.

In this title, each character has a unique bonus feature, letting players decide which character they would prefer to play with as part of the narrative. It also includes the supplier’s well-known Win Spin feature incorporated into its free spins, which guarantees players a win on each Win Spin.

Troll Hunters 2 is another example of Play’n GO bringing a fresh perspective to already known characters and using narrative to entertain and link titles together, similar to their Egyptian and Rich Wilde series of games.

Martin Zettergren, CPO of Play’n GO, believes that creating sequels is a very delicate balance:

“There are many factors to consider when creating a sequel, or adding to a series of games. While you want to capture the familiarity of the original and keep the elements that made it successful in the first place, you can’t simply retread old ground and expect the same results.We’ve always maintained that we only revisit titles when we feel we can bring a new dimension to what’s gone before, and Troll Hunters 2 is a perfect example.”

The supplier is nominated for Game Aggregator of the Year and Employer of the Year ahead of SBC Summit Malta on April 29.

Alea has been named a finalist in two categories at the upcoming SBC Awards Europe: Game Aggregator of the Year and Employer of the Year. The company announced the nominations on April 28 from Barcelona.

Founder Alexandre Tomic said the double shortlisting reflects a link between product delivery and company culture. “If people don’t care about what they’re building, it shows immediately. In the product, in the details, everywhere. Reliability can’t be bolted on later, it’s a consequence of that care.”

“We’ve spent years building a team that takes ownership and holds a certain standard. Seeing both nominations together just tells me we’re doing something right.” Tomic added.

The news comes ahead of SBC Summit Malta, where Alea said Tomic and COO Ramon Glieneke will take part in conference sessions on April 29. Tomic is scheduled to appear on “Casino vs Sports: Can Gamification Truly Cross Over?” while Glieneke is due to join “The COO Horizon: Challenges and Opportunities in 2026/27.”

Alea said its wider team will be onsite throughout the summit at Booth D22.
