ABU DHABI, 22nd February, 2023 (WAM) — AD Gaming, the entity driving Abu Dhabi’s fast-growing gaming industry, has signed a partnership agreement with SAWA Group, a leading game publishing and esports company in the MENA region.
SAWA Group is a pioneer in the localisation of global video games, largely developed in China, and esports content, making SAWA’s established game library more accessible to Arabic speakers across the MENA region. In relocating to Abu Dhabi, SAWA Group will be positioned in the heart of the region’s largest community of game developers.
Sultan Al Riyami, Head of Gaming and Esports at AD Gaming, said, “Demand for high-quality gaming content across the Arabic-speaking world has never been higher. The opportunity to tap into this market from Abu Dhabi is substantial, and SAWA’s expertise in the localisation of gaming esports content addresses this head-on. Since its inception, AD Gaming has succeeded in building an ecosystem that supports all segments of the gaming and esports sector. Bringing SAWA into the fold both diversifies and expands our community as we continue to advance Abu Dhabi’s gaming industry.”
“Aligned with AD Gaming, SAWA Group is dedicated to enhancing the gaming and esports ecosystem in the UAE, creating more opportunities for the country’s passionate gamers to experience global content in their native language. By supporting its thriving community, we are confident that Abu Dhabi will become a premier global destination for gaming and esports,” said Jing Wang, CEO of SAWA Group.
She added, “Through the collaboration and partnership with AD Gaming, SAWA Group hopes to balance game publishing and esports exposure to make Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE one of the world’s top centres for the gaming industry.”
SAWA Group recently published the deeply localised SLG game Infinity Kingdom, which has been downloaded millions of times across the Huawei app gallery, Google Play Store, and Apple App Store. Along with its own Multi Channel Network, SAWA Group also has partnerships with top tier TV channels in the MENA region, including MBC Group, through which SAWA tries to build up deep connections between game developers globally, the core of Arabic culture, and all players and users of all ages in the MENA region.
