Here at Gamezebo, we get a lot of press releases. As I type this to you right now, I'm swimming in press releases. Wearing a bathing suit made of press releases. In all seriousness, though, not everything can make the cut. But when the already fast-growing game startup by the name of Peak e-mailed to tell us that they were in fact growing explosively? I took notice. Why? Because now they're outpacing Facebook themselves.
Peak Games, which has offices in Istanbul, Ankara, Amman, Barcelona and Berlin, is the fastest-growing games studio for emerging markets, including Turkey and Middle East North Africa (MENA). It's about to grow a little faster thanks to its recent acquisition of Kammelna Games, a social games company that's based in Saudi Arabia.
With the rise of Turkey as a viable market for social games, many developers are looking at creating localized versions of hit games specifically for the Turkish market. And the latest to do so is Meteor Games, which has partnered with Peak Games to bring Island Paradise to Turkish gamers.
By focusing on underserved markets in places like the Middle East and North Africa, Peak Games has now become one of the top six game developers on Facebook. To continue this growth the company has announced new game acquisitions and additional funding.
Social games publisher and developer RockYou has announced a partnership with Peak Games in order to localize its games for new markets across the Middle East.
