About
Description
King Digital Entertainment, also known as King, is a video game developer and publisher based in Dublin, Ireland. The company was founded in 2003 as Midasplayer. com by Riccardo Zacconi, Toby Rowland, and Melvyn Morris.
In 2005, the company launched its first game, called Midnight Magic, which gained popularity on the Yahoo! Games platform. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, King Digital Entertainment has offices in various locations worldwide, including London, Stockholm, Barcelona, Bucharest, and Chicago. Their headquarters in Dublin is a vibrant and innovative space, fostering creativity and collaboration among its employees.
King's main products are mobile and online casual games. The company gained global recognition and success with the release of Candy Crush Saga in 2012. This match-three puzzle game quickly became a phenomenon, attracting millions of players worldwide.
Since then, King has developed and published numerous other highly popular games, including Farm Heroes Saga, Bubble Witch Saga, and Pet Rescue Saga. On a global scale, King operates in over 200 countries and has a significant presence in the mobile gaming market. The company has subsidiaries in various countries, including the United States, Sweden, and Spain.
In 2016, King became a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, further expanding its reach and resources. In terms of market position, King has been a major player in the mobile gaming industry. Candy Crush Saga alone generated over $1 billion in revenue in 2013 and continued to be a consistent revenue source for the company.
However, King faces fierce competition from other mobile game developers, such as Supercell and Zynga. As for major events and achievements, King's successful IPO in 2014 was a significant milestone for the company. The IPO raised approximately $500 million, valuing the company at around $7 billion.
In recent years, King has continued to innovate and expand its game portfolio to maintain its competitive edge. Currently, King is still a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard and continues to develop and publish new games. The company remains focused on creating engaging and entertaining experiences for its massive audience of mobile gamers.
With its strong market position and a dedicated fanbase, King Digital Entertainment is poised for continued growth in the mobile gaming industry. (Note: The provided information is accurate as of the time of writing and is subject to change over time. )
