Hypemasters

Hypemasters embarked on its journey in 2019, co-founded by Boris Kalmykov and Sergey Petrov, with a vision to carve a niche in the competitive mobile gaming landscape. Initially focusing on developing mobile games across various genres, their first title, 'Hype City-Idle Tycoon,' launched in 2019 and quickly attracted over 2 million players. This early success set the stage for more ambitious projects. The company's mission from the outset has been to build a top-tier mid-core player-versus-player (PvP) gaming company, aiming to disrupt and define gaming genres. This ambition was fueled by a team of developers with experience from major international studios like Creative Mobile, Nekki, Playrix, and Wargaming.

A significant turning point for Hypemasters was the development of 'World War Armies,' a real-time strategy (RTS) game set in World War II. This project signaled a shift towards more complex, mid-core experiences. The journey involved securing crucial funding, including a notable Series A round, to bolster the team, launch 'World War Armies,' and expand beyond a single game. Investors like GEM Capital, The Games Fund, and Ludus Venture Studio recognized the studio's potential to innovate in the mobile RTS space. Over the years, Hypemasters has navigated the dynamic gaming market, adapting its strategies and even expanding its presence with offices in locations like London, St. Petersburg, and a key development office in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The company emphasizes creating 'legendary' games that players can enjoy for years, driven by a culture of winning and a passion for delivering engaging gameplay. Their evolution includes embracing cross-platform development, with 'World War Armies' also making its way to PC via Steam.
