Soner Memish, co-founder and chief executive of Curious Games, said the team saw an opportunity to introduce more immersive entertainment into the iGaming sector:
“With our background in interactive entertainment and large-scale creative productions, we saw a clear opportunity to include more immersive experiences and next-generation player mechanics into the iGaming space,” Soner Memish, co-founder and chief executive of Curious Games.
He added that Relax Gaming’s distribution capabilities made it the natural partner for the studio’s launch into the industry.
First titles expected soon
Curious Games’ first titles are expected to launch in the coming weeks through Relax Gaming’s platform.
The studio has also outlined plans for a broader roadmap of releases later this year. It seems that the brand is looking to establish itself within the competitive iGaming content market.
By combining creative production expertise with Relax Gaming’s global distribution network, the partnership aims to introduce a new generation of visually rich casino games to operators and players worldwide.
