Eden Games SAS

Eden Games SAS is a video game development studio focused on creating engaging racing games, with a notable portfolio that appeals to both casual and core gamers. Founded in 1998 in Lyon, France, Eden Games SAS specializes in developing racing video games. The company has undergone strategic shifts to enhance its portfolio and reach. The founders, Jean Geffroy and Rucha Deshmukh, have a history in game development, contributing to its evolution.

The firm has attracted investment through three deals, the most recent being a Secondary Stock Purchase on April 7, 2022, in which Animoca Brands Corporation Limited acquired 96% of the company for USD 15. 3 mn. To date, Eden Games has raised a total of USD 3. 1 mn.

Eden Games specializes in the design and production of racing video games, including popular franchises such as V-Rally, Test Drive Unlimited, and Gear. Club. The company produces both simulation and arcade racing games for mobile platforms and next-gen consoles, aimed at enhancing user experience through innovative gameplay and high-quality graphics. Their products cater to a diverse customer base, including individual gamers and larger communities, focusing on key markets in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Eden Games generates revenue primarily through sales of its video game products via digital storefronts and partnerships with major publishers including Apple, Electronic Arts, and Microids. Revenue streams are bolstered by downloadable content (DLC) and in-game purchases. Key titles like Gear. Club and F1® Mobile Racing significantly contribute to the company's financial performance through both initial sales and ongoing revenue from additional content.

Looking ahead, Eden Games plans to leverage the recent acquisition by Animoca Brands to enhance its product offerings, with new racing titles expected to be developed and launched in the coming years. The firm aims to expand into emerging markets in Asia and South America by 2025. Funding from the recent deal will support these growth initiatives and bolster their development capabilities, ensuring a strong position in the evolving gaming landscape.
