DeVC led Felicity Games, a casual game developer and publisher, today announced a partnership with AbhiTech Games, a leading game developing studio, to launch and publish two games viz: Warbound and Laser Tanks. With this partnership AbhiTech Games will gain access to Felicity’s 1 million users while Felicity will aim to grow by 3x and almost double their monthly unique users by Q2 of 2025.
AbhiTech Games is a gaming studio founded in 2018 by Abhishek Singh Rana, a two-time winner of Indian Game Developer Conference (IGDC) ‘Student Game of the Year Award’. It is an independent game studio known for creating titles like Paperly: Paper Plane Adventure and Laser Tanks. Currently, they are working on Warbound, a strategic deck-building game that challenges players to lead armies and conquer kingdoms.
Felicity secured a $700K pre-seed funding from marquee angel investors Kunal Shah of CRED, former Nazara CEO, Manish Agarwal, Sriharsha Majety, Nandan Reddy of Swiggy and Sameer Pittalwala, Head of Gaming, Google Cloud (APAC) among key investors including DeVC and Visceral Capital. The company has already generated an increase in revenue by six times and plans to hit USD 1 million ARR in the next 6 months.
Felicity will gain the rights to publish Laser Tanks, with 20,000 downloads on Google Play, and will also launch and publish Warbound, the latest game project from AbhiTech Games. Laser Tanks is a fast-paced top-down shooter game where you battle against alien monsters using weapons and laser-equipped tanks. Warbound is about building your ultimate battle deck and leading your armies in epic strategic warfare. Collect powerful cards & conquering rival kingdoms.
The studio will aim to scale the games with the help of ‘Pokhran’ a proprietary framework which rapidly prototypes and tests casual games in partnership with Indian game developers for commercial viability.
Anurag Choudhary, Founder & CEO of Felicity Games stated, “Through this partnership combining our expertise in casual game publishing with AbhiTech Games’s award-winning game development, we aim to not only expand our audience but also carry forward a shared vision. The innovative Pokhran framework will surely enhance our growth and create unforgettable experiences for players everywhere.”
Abhishek Singh Rana, Indie Developer and Founder at AbhiTechGames also stated that “The Pokhran framework will be a game-changer for us, helping us reach more players, achieve more downloads, and most importantly deliver memorable gaming experiences. Partnering with Felicity Games will allow us to take our games to the next level and grow alongside a company that shares our passion for innovation.”
Beyond game development and publishing, Felicity Games distinguishes itself through strategic partnerships with studios and brands to co-create compelling intellectual properties (IPs). This collaborative approach not only enriches the gaming ecosystem but also expands the company’s reach and influence within the industry.
As AbhiTech Games and Felicity Games come together to bring Warbound to life, Indian gamers and the global gaming community can look forward to an experience that promises to be both innovative and engaging.
