Meteor Collides with Peak Games, Erupting New Deal

Peak Games announced a deal with Meteor Game this week that will allow game players across Turkey to play the Facebook title Island Paradise in their native language.

“As global interest in social gaming continues to grow, it is important that we form strategic partnerships with the best regional companies that have the ability to replicate the same high quality experience our players have come to associate with Meteor Games' fun and exciting IP,” said Zac Brandenberg, CEO of Meteor Games. “Through this partnership with Peak Games, we are able to increase our global reach and make our popular games more accessible for fans around the world.”

With more than 30 million users and 17% growth in the past six months, Turkey is one of the leading locations for Facebook. Peak Games has been taking advantage of this market with new investments, new games, and studio acquisitions.

“Meteor Games and Peak Games are teaming up to expand the Island Paradise universe in burgeoning Turkey,” said Rina Onur, Chief Strategy Officer of Peak Games. “Because of our deep understanding and focus on emerging markets, we're able to tailor the game to be localized and culturally-specific, employing strong engagement and monetization.”
