This acquisition, valued at £16.3 million ($19.87 million), includes an initial payment of $14.7 million. The remaining amount will be disbursed over the next five years, contingent upon Mineloader hitting certain performance milestones.

Jan further emphasized the importance of game art, noting it as a critical element in video game creation. He highlighted its role in capturing players’ imagination and shaping the entire gaming experience. He expressed his enthusiasm about integrating Mineloader’s skilled team of over 460 employees into their current workforce of more than 800. This move is expected to not only strengthen their service capabilities but also expand their client base. He also highlighted Mineloader’s solid footing in the Japanese market as a strategic advantage for Winking Studios’ business network.
