Gameloft

Gameloft SE is a French video game publisher and developer that specializes in mobile gaming. Founded in 1999 in Paris by Michel Guillemot and colleagues, it established its early reputation with Java-based titles for feature phones and later shifted to smartphones and tablets. The company designs and publishes its own games and also develops titles under license with external partners, operating development studios around the world. Its games are released primarily through major app stores for iOS and Android.

In 2016, Vivendi SE completed its acquisition of Gameloft, making it a subsidiary within the Vivendi entertainment group. Since then, Gameloft has continued to operate as an independent unit within Vivendi, leveraging the parent company’s broader distribution and media resources while maintaining its own development and publishing slate.

Gameloft has produced several well-known franchises, including the Asphalt racing series, the Modern Combat first-person shooters, the N.O.V.A. sci-fi shooters, and the Gangstar open-world games. The company emphasizes free-to-play models with in-app purchases and sustains a steady stream of new releases to support its mobile-game ecosystem. It also develops and uses internal tools and engines to support its global development teams.

Overall, Gameloft remains a major player in the mobile game market, focusing on multi‑platform mobile titles, global distribution through app stores, and ongoing investment in new mobile games and experiences.
