“Curve’s proven expertise in PC and Console publishing makes them an ideal partner as we expand our focus beyond mobile into high-quality, cross-platform gaming. This acquisition deepens our capabilities, brings exceptional IP into our fold, and strengthens our mission in building Nazara as a global gaming powerhouse from India. Curve will also serve as a gateway to the world for Indian game developers,” said Nitish Mittersain, CEO of Nazara Technologies.
Curve Games’ publishing portfolio includes many globally recognised titles that have collectively seen over 100 million downloads. It has presence in key gaming markets including North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.
Nazara has been on an acquisition spree having bought and invested in a number of gaming and media startups. According to Tracxn data, the company has acquired around 16 companies and invested in 23 companies to boost its product portfolio and offerings.
In December 2024, the firm invested around Rs 196 crore in five companies, including both new and existing ones, as part of its strategy to drive growth across the gaming and entertainment ecosystems.
