We live a unique moment in our industry and with the real possibility of being one of the biggest game development hubs in the world”, says Eliana Russi, international director of Abragames “Over a decade of partnership, Brazil went from 20 to more than 1,000 studios that develop game projects in different business models. For another two years, we will continue with this great cooperation agreement in which Abragames represents the Brazilian industry in the management of various actions aimed at the gamer universe, generating awareness and business for the studios in our country.”
