Wildlife Studios opens a new studio in Stellar Core Games Helsinki | Pocket Gamer.biz
Wildlife Studios has announced that it will open Stellar Core games in Helsinki.
In front of the studio are the creative director Touko Tahkokallio and the director of the studio Serdar Soganci.
Tahkokallio is an industry veteran who has previously worked as a game manager for games such as Brawl Stars and Clash Quest and as a game designer for the popular games Boom Beach and Hay Day.
“Wildlife Studios has given us the opportunity of a lifetime,” Tahkokallio said. “In doing so, we are laser-focused on creating games that we have been dreaming about for years. As there is a lot of talent in Helsinki, we are excited about the future of Stellar Core and what we will create together.
Soganci first joined the game industry in 2003, and since then has accumulated a wealth of experience at various studios, including working as a Studio Head Rovio Entertainment. Before that, he worked as the main programmer at Digital chocolate.
A company with a vision
In a press release, Wildlife Studios states that “Stellar Core games are not limited to any specific genre and intend to explore different possibilities in the game space. They believe that the best games of the future should offer players something fresh and new while leveraging the experiences gained from past games. Ultimately, they think that games should be simple and offer as much depth as possible.”
Helsinki is the center of mobile games and studios such as Rovio and Supercell. Wildlife Studios’ Stelar Core Games marks a rapid surge of new interest in the area recently, Netflix opened a new mobile game studio in the city as part of its ongoing game strategy.
Earlier this year we listed Wildlife as one Top 50 Mobile Game Makers of 2022 at the award ceremony at Gamescom in Germany.
