20 Brazilian companies attending one of the most important game events in the world
São Paulo, August 17, 2018 - The Brazilian Game Developers Export Program, BGD, a partnership of the Brazilian Game Developers Association, Abragames, with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, Apex-Brazil, will have its the largest delegation of game companies at Gamescom, one of the major video game events around the world, which takes place in Cologne, Germany, August 21-25. The delegation is made up of 20 companies from all regions of Brazil willing to do business with the main players in the global gaming industry.
For the first time the Brazil booth, at the B2B area, will display the games developed by Brazilian companies. According to Eliana Russi, Executive Manager at BGD, "the Brazilian Games industry is going through a fantastic moment. It has never been produced so many games and with such a high quality."
This year, Brazilian games that are already internationally successful in the mobile version, such as Rockhead Games' Starlit Adventure and Aquiris Game Studio's Horizon Chase, with more than 10 million downloads each, have been released on new platforms. In 4 months, Starlit had more than 500,000 downloads on the PS4, which positively surprised Christian Lykawka, CEO of Rockhead. Horizon Chase Turbo, following the successful sales on Steam and PS4, will present the versions for Nintendo Switch and XBOX. According to Sandro Manfredini, Business Director of Aquiris, players have a high expectation for the arrival of these versions, which should happen before Christmas this year.
In addition to participating on Gamescom to present the best Brazilian games, the Brazilian delegation will also be present at XDS, External Development Summit (XDS) in Vancouver, Canada, in September.
Brazil Games Booth at Gamescom: Hall 3.2, D-71.
