Game dev agency Amber acquires Madbricks

Game development agency Amber has bought Colombian studio Madbricks. 

No figure has been put on the deal. Madbricks is a co-development specialist that has worked the likes of Voodoo, ByteDance and Maximum Games in the past, in addition to collaborating with Amber itself. 

“We were impressed by the dedication and professionalism of the Madbricks team during our past collaboration, so this acquisition is a natural next step in our relationship," Amber CEO Mihai Pohontu (pictured) said. "Emerging markets are part of our DNA, and Madbricks will solidify our presence in the South American games industry landscape."  

Madbricks CEO Miguel Benavides added: “For Madbricks, becoming part of Amber means bigger projects and the opportunity to learn from a developed organization like Amber.

"We pride ourselves on our ability to generate a fast-paced high production value pipeline, and we believe that joining Amber, with its vast, global resources, will tighten our efficiency even further and allow us to fully realize our vision for the company and local industry.”
