YG Masters partner Peter & Sons is the latest studio to commit to leveraging Yggdrasil's popular Gigablox™ mechanic to enhance the production of its future games.
Through Yggdrasil's Game Engagement Mechanics 'GEM' offering, Peter & Sons will implement the successful mechanic into its game development process, with the first title due for production before the end of the year.
Gigablox™ has been used in several of Yggdrasil's proprietary games, including Lucky Neko™ and Hades™, which have achieved top performance. The Gigablox™ framework allows dynamic coils to spawn huge blocks up to 6×6 stacked. In addition to potentially massive payouts, this mechanic also enables Gigablox™ battles, a truly innovative gaming experience.
Since the introduction of the GEM offering within the YG Masters programme, four partner studios have signed up to include it, with Peter & Sons joining Reflex Gaming, DreamTech Gaming and Bang Bang Games.
Three of Yggdrasil's mechanisms, Gigablox™, MultiMAX™ and Splitz™, are available for partners to use as part of the GEM offering to increase player engagement and retention levels. Yggdrasil will package and market additional mechanical frames for its YG Masters partners during 2021.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programmes at Yggdrasil, said: "We are delighted with the interest in our GEM offering and it is testament to the popularity of our mechanics with players around the world. By incorporating Gigablox™ into their upcoming titles, Peter & Sons will be able to take their games to the next level and we look forward to seeing the results."
Yann Bautista, Head of Business Development at Peter & Sons, added: "We are very excited to be licensing Yggdrasil's popular Gigablox™ mechanical framework to build exciting new games to add to our growing portfolio. We are always looking for new ways to engage and surprise players and building on Yggdrasil's proven slot mechanics provides a solid foundation for us to create exciting new content. Access to Yggdrasil's GEM offering adds significant commercial value for us as a YG Masters partner."
