Casino games supplier RubyPlay has launched a new independent game studio, Koala Games, as part of its strategic diversification initiative.

The new studio will have full creative freedom to create titles using RubyPlay’s infrastructure, distribution network and market knowledge.

To mark the launch of the studio, three titles have been released: Voltage Blitz Vortex, Voltage Blitz Egypt and 3 Big Barrels Buffalo.

Koala Games is comprised of veterans from the social casino space, leveraging decades of industry experience.

RubyPlay noted that the launch of the studio allows it to “explore bold new themes and player experiences” and represents a “significant milestone” in its commitment to expand its creative horizons.

“The launch of Koala Games is a natural evolution of our vision to build a multi-studio ecosystem that delivers diverse and engaging content to players around the world,” said RubyPlay chief product officer Eyal Loz.

“Koala Games brings a fresh perspective and unique voice to the RubyPlay family, and we’re incredibly excited about what’s to come, starting with the high-octane Voltage Blitz Vortex.”

Tristan Esaid, studio director at Koala Games, added: “At Koala Games, we’re driven by the desire to push boundaries and bring a bold, playful spirit to every game we create.

“Launching with Voltage Blitz Vortex is just the first step and we’re here to deliver fresh, high-energy content that speaks directly to today’s players.”
