2024 has been an interesting, challenging, and fulfilling year. One filled with events, opportunities, incredible acquisitions and projects, and much more. Let’s take a look at a quick summary of some of our favorite highlights!
Magic Media Acquisitions: New Teams, New Talent
This year had several exciting partnerships and collaborations as well as a few very fruitful acquisitions and mergers. Earlier in the year, we were joined by the incredible team at Interactive Creation. A Skopje based team, we were thrilled to have their passion added to our group. A team of self-described nerds, artists, and rebels, Interactive Creation is a 3D visual studio with a specialty making visions become a reality.
Another exciting acquisition was Bloop Animation! This was a big one for us as Bloop Animation delivers incredible animation courses for filmmakers. With Bloop Animation added to our extensive expertize and talent, we’re very excited to see what courses and learning opportunities we can offer in animation, VFX, and much more!
Last, but certainly not least, we added Cyrex to the Magic Media group. As part of our expanded team, Cyrex has lent their considerable skills within cybersecurity, load testing, and software development to our one-stop studio service offerings.
Exciting Projects and Collaborations
As a service provider, we get the opportunity to work with all kinds of clients for a diverse range of services. This year was no different! A small sense of our project highlights include.
Everreach and REVENGE
We were very excited to invest and begin our collaboration with the Everreach team. With financial support and their enlistment of some of our game outsourcing services, we can’t wait to see where this goes next!
Fateless Games and Godforge
Our art team had the pleasure of delivering quite a lot of art and 3D character art to the Fateless team as they go about creating their team-based raid game, Godforge.
UFO ROBOT GRENDIZER Switch Port
We also had the unique opportunity to help deliver the Nintendo Switch port of UFO ROBOT GRENDIZER! An open world action game, this anime and manga is beloved by many of our staff who jumped at the opportunity to work on the project.
3D Art Services for Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred
Working alongside Blizzard’s art team was absolutely a highlight for our team this year. Our 3D art production team helped create and deliver several armor sets for the hotly anticipated Diablo IV expansion: Vessel of Hatred!
Industry Events
This year we had large scale activations at events such at both Gamescom and XDS, with our own dedicated booth and team showcasing the very best of Magic Media. Alongside this, we had further Magic Media appearances at events such as Gamescom Latam, GDC, Web Summit, DevGamm and PGC amongst others.
Internal Events for Magic Media
We always like to keep our teams engaged and involved. This year we ran some photo competitions and game giveaways, while our internal Slack channels discussed the latest news in all things gaming, literature, food, travel, and tech! Of course, with a global team like ours, we had to continue our Meet the Team series – highlighting just a few of the incredible experts who make up our magical team.
That’s just a quick look at what was a very busy and packed year! If you’re interested in leveraging our services and seeing what they can do for you, get in touch today. Full-cycle game development, art production, game trailers, or cybersecurity, let’s chat and make magic in the new year!
