This acquisition marks the vanguard of Amber’s new initiative to foster a collaborative approach to co-development, as it seeks to expand its global workforce by integrating external studios.

Based in Bogotá, Colombia, Madbricks specializes in co-development and full development across multiple genres and platforms over the past ten years. During that time, it has grown to roughly 40 staffers, and has successfully shipped games on every major platform from mobile to PC and console, solidifying its position as a leading studio in the emerging gaming landscape of Colombia and South America.

The acquisition builds on the two parties’ successful collaboration, as Amber and Madbricks have worked together in the past on various projects with great results.

“We were impressed by the dedication and professionalism of the Madbricks team during our past collaboration, so this acquisition is a natural next step in our relationship. Emerging markets are part of our DNA, and Madbricks will solidify our presence in the South American games industry landscape” said Mihai Pohonțu, CEO of Amber.

“For Madbricks, becoming part of Amber means bigger projects and the opportunity to learn from a developed organization like Amber,” said Miguel Benavides, CEO at Madbricks. “We pride ourselves on our ability to generate a fast-paced high production value pipeline, and we believe that joining Amber, with its vast, global resources, will tighten our efficiency even further and allow us to fully realize our vision for the company and local industry.”

Amber has worked or continues to work with the most popular gaming companies: Amazon, King, Big Fish Games, Disney, N3twork, Rovio, Warner Media, and That Game Company. Amber has developed games such as Tetris Beat, Super Spy Ryan, Formula E: High Voltage, PositronX, and Link Twin, and has contributed to developing successful titles such as Sky: Children of Light, Nascar Heat 5, Secret Neighbor, Wild Things and others.

Amber is headquartered in Bucharest and has offices in Botoșani, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Guadalajara, Bogotá, Montreal, Manila, and Kyiv.
