After posting a maiden EBIDTA positive 2020, iCandy Interactive (ASX: ICI) has announced it will acquire Singapore-based and hyper-casual mobile gaming developer and platform Nextgamer.
According to iCandy, Nextgamer is developing a competitive platform and games based on the emerging new hyper-casual genre.
iCandy noted hyper-casual games are a growing trend in the mobile gaming industry, with the emerging genre referring to games that are “very easy to play” and can be played in a “very short time frame”.
Nextgamer’s games under development can be played in two-to-three minutes per session.
The hyper-casual genre builds on the short session trend that has been propagated by video app Tik Tok.
