Paris-based mobile entertainment company Homa Games has partnered with independent studio IRL Team to establish a game hub in Toulouse, France. 

Homa Games has said it will be teaming up with Toulouse-based IRL Team, which specialises in free-to-play mobile games, as part of its ongoing expansion efforts. 

Though the studio will remain independent, it will use Homa’s technologies and support team to boost its production capacity. The initiative is part of Homa’s strategy to accelerate growth through focusing on in-development titles.

Discussing the plans IRL Team Founders, Hugo Dumouch, Liam Lepinay & Antoine Violet, said:

“We are excited to come on board with Homa Games and are looking forward to continuing to develop our games’ portfolio. We are confident that partnering with Homa is the exact next step in our evolution plan. By leveraging their expertise and technologies, we will broaden our games’ reach in our development pipeline.”

While CEO at Homa Games, Daniel Nathan, added:

“We are strengthening our development capacities. The IRL team is one of the most talented hyper-casual indie developers out there. We are very excited that this team is joining Homa’s creative force and can’t wait to get their creation in the hands of millions of players worldwide.”

Homa Games is now looking to make dozens of new hires, including Publishing Manager, Game Developer, Unity Tools Developer, Back End Developer, Full Stack Developer, and more. 

AYO.NEWS says:

Across the games development industry we’re seeing more and more partnerships like this as studios and publishers aim to increase outflow and save through synergies. It’s also seeing some interesting hubs emerge – for example, last year we reported that Istanbul, Turkey, now has a booming gaming ecosystem.
