About us

Jörgen Larsson, a Swedish serial entrepreneur, founded Stillfront. He had a vision to build a global gaming company by inviting the best independent digital games studios to join him. The first companies to accept were Gamerock, Verrano, and Coldwood Interactive.

We started operating under the same operational structure we have today. In November of the same year, Power Challenge, a developer of social sports management games, joined us. This strengthened our games portfolio with the game titles ManagerZone and Power Soccer.

Bytro Labs joined us and we saw our portfolio grow with titles like Supremacy 1914, PanzerWars, and Industry Tycoon, which helped build our strategy game offer.

We completed an IPO and listed shares on Nasdaq First North Stockholm. The listing price was SEK 39 per share, and the first day of trading was December 8th, 2015. Meanwhile, Bytro’s game Call of War was released and became our most successful game release.

We invited Simutronics, one of North America’s longest-running independent game development studios, to join us. Their expertise in MUD-style text-based and mobile games meant we could add a new strategy genre and mobile game expertise to our offer. Soon after, Babil Games came on board. The mobile strategy games publisher focuses on bringing high-quality entertainment to the Arabic audience in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

We welcomed eRepublik Labs, co-founded by Alexis Bonte and George Lemnaru, adding game titles like eRepublik.com, Age of Lords, and World at War: WW2 Strategy MMO. Later that year, we moved the listing of Stillfront’s shares to NASDAQ First North Premier Growth Market.

We joined forces with Goodgame Studios, whose titles are among the biggest strategy games of all time, and Imperia Online, a leading game developer in Southeast Europe with a focus on long-term gamer relationships. We also welcomed Playa Games, Germany’s leading casual strategy game developer and publisher.

We implemented a new operational platform with the aim to triple in size within five years. That summer, we acquired KIXEYE, a leading developer and publisher of multiplayer online real-time strategy games (MMORTS) for PC and mobile devices.

We opened six new studios, bringing our total to 18. We also implemented a new and improved structure, increasing the focus on the games with the highest potential for growth and longevity.

We invited six new game developers to come on board – Storm8, Candywriter, Nanobit, Everguild, Sandbox Interactive, and Super Free Games. This added new types of games to our portfolio, helping us claim a larger share of the total gaming audience and diversify revenue streams.

Moonfrog Labs, a game studio focusing on board and social card games, joined us.
This expanded our geographic footprint to the Indian Subcontinent, a strategic move into one of the fastest-growing mobile game markets.

Game Labs also came on board. This game studio has a strong track record of developing strategy and action games for PC, and Jawaker, a social gaming network that hosts over 40 of the most popular Middle Eastern social and cultural games. We also completed the transfer from Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market to the main market of Nasdaq Stockholm.

We welcomed Six Waves Inc., a leading publisher of mobile free-to-play strategy games in Japan. This helps us establish a strong foothold in East Asia and strengthen our presence in the Japanese gaming market.

We entered a new phase we call Stillfront IV. It signifies our commitment to growth and ambition to build on everything we’ve worked for over the years. It also reinforces our dedication to connecting and empowering game teams globally through our Stillops platform.

Our mission is to make a positive impact on our players’ everyday lives. In 2024, we are launching our first Stillfront ecosystem – a universe of positive gaming experiences. Our players will be able to learn more about our broad portfolio of games and with our Stillfront ID, log in with one single account and get access to exciting features and rewards.

We transitioned toward a more focused, franchise-led company. By sharpening our portfolio and investing in our franchises with the highest potential, we took important steps toward our vision of forging gaming’s next forever franchises — one community at a time.
