Olympus Rising title was downloaded 1 million times in 2 weeks, Glu Mobile released a game with Britney Spears, and GAMEVIL finished the 1st quarter of 2015 with an operating profit of $39 million.

1. A title in the setting of Ancient Greece called Olympus Rising was released on May 3. Since that moment, the project has been downloaded 1 mn times. In terms of revenue, not everything is so rosy yet, but the game has already hit the top 100 in grossing in the USA and in the homeland of flaregames – in Germany.

2. Glu Mobile has released another shareware project from the “star” series. This time, the title was promoted by singer Britney Spears (Britney Spears). The game called Britney Spears: American Dream is expected to repeat the main hit of the company, the title Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. It seems that Glu Mobile is not stopped either by the decreased revenues or the failure of two other games in the same spirit. The company is determined to continue.

3. An international company with Korean roots GAMEVIL has published the results of the first quarter of 2016. Sales for this period amounted to $34 million, and operating profit – $39 million. The company owes the results to the success of flagship titles (Kritika: The White Knights and Dragon Blaze, for example) and cost reduction. Several major game releases are planned for 2016. In addition, GAMEVIL expects a lot from cooperation with Cartoon Network, the owners of the rights to Adventure Time. The companies have previously signed a partnership agreement and have already released a thematic update to the Dungeon Link game.
