Wargaming's Nick Katselapov launches investment firm Mika Games
03.04.2024 - 16:55 / gamesindustry.biz
Nick Katselapov, cofounder of Wargaming, has unveiled the investment firm Mika Games.
As reported by VentureBeat, Mika Games has raised $10 in its initial funding round. It has invested in the mobile game studios Guli Games and Hot Siberians.
The firm intends to raise $50 million in funding for the mobile games sector.
Mika Games will not only provide investments but also offer developers support, including marketing, game design, and monetization.
"83% of mobile games fail within three years, and a significant factor contributing to this is the lack of financing and business guidance," said Katselapov.
"We see a huge market gap here, which presents an immense opportunity that we can capitalize on. Our industry experience as both investors and operators positions us well to select talented teams and ambitious games."

PS5, PC Exclusive Helldivers 2 Under 'Very Early' Discussions Over Possible Xbox Launch: Report
Helldivers 2 launched exclusively on PS5 and PC on February 8, quickly becoming a phenomenon and rising up the charts to become one of the most played games on Steam. The co-op third-person shooter, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, broke the mould a bit when it launched simultaneously on Windows alongside the PlayStation platform. While it's not a first-party title, publishers Sony rarely release games under their banner on other platforms at launch. The overwhelming success of Helldivers 2, however, could be forcing the PlayStation parent to rethink its strategy. The game is now rumoured to be a subject of internal discussions over a possible Xbox release.
