Waven is the Ankama studio's newest ambitious project set in the Krosmoz universe, a saga that began 20 years ago with the release of DOFUS.

In it, players discover the World of Twelve after it has been almost completely submerged in a mysterious disaster. Only the roofs of the tallest buildings and highest mountain tops are accessible, and the survivors sail the high seas in their ships in search of the resources they need to survive and thrive.

Ankama's colorful and expressive graphic touch and its beloved, distinctive epic-burlesque style invite players on a great adventure full of exploration, strategic combat against iconic monsters from the Krosmoz universe, and confrontations between players either live or in asynchronous arenas, all against a backdrop of both funny and endearing stories.

Developer Ankama and new independent game publisher/developer New Tales are pleased to join forces to distribute Waven worldwide.

​In this partnership, New Tales will provide its cutting-edge expertise as a game operator servicing international communities to help Ankama bring Waven to as many players as possible globally.

​"Waven is an ambitious project, one that we are very proud of! We believe that it has real potential to conquer the international market and so we decided to be accompanied by a team of experts to give ourselves every possible chance at success," said Anthony 'Tot' Roux, CEO of Ankama. "The New Tales team appealed to us because the team is made up of recognized industry experts with whom communication is simple and enjoyable."

​"We are delighted and eager to bring Waven to players around the world," said Cédric Maréchal, President & CEO of New Tales. "Not only were we instantly impressed by the quality of the game and its potential, but we also met a talented, passionate and caring team that is a joy to work with."

​New Tales and Ankama had signed a first strategic partnership six months ago to begin preparing for the launch of Waven. This productive collaboration has now evolved into a global co-publishing agreement with the aim of ensuring that as many people as possible can enjoy the game.

Waven will be a free-to-play cross-platform game available on PC/Mac, Android and iOS devices, scheduled for 2023.
