The Russian division of Gameloft, the French mobile game publisher, has been formally dissolved. This development is reported by the Telegram channel Lobushkin Molnit, with a link to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRLE).
According to the image shared by the source, the liquidation of the Gameloft legal entity in Russia occurred on April 2, 2024. The company first registered in the Russian Federation in May 2014, and it had initiated liquidation procedures for its Russian subsidiary in July 2023. The sequence of events suggests a strategic unwind of Russia-linked corporate activities by Gameloft during the post-2022 market realignments and sanctions environment that affected many foreign game publishers operating in the region.
Gameloft has been a prolific publisher of mobile games since the early 2000s, releasing hundreds of titles across multiple genres. Among its enduring franchises, the Asphalt racing series stands out for its long-running popularity, having appeared on mobile devices since 2004. A recent entry, Asphalt Legends Unite, is slated for release this summer and is expected to reach PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms, signaling a broader cross‑platform strategy for classic franchises even as regional operations evolve.
Historically, Gameloft delivered games across a wide array of hardware and operating systems, including Nintendo DS, Macintosh, Sony PlayStation Portable, Wii, Xbox 360, Zeebo, and Bada. The company also published titles for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, N-Gage, Java ME, BREW, and Symbian OS, reflecting a broad, hardware-inclusive approach that characterized much of the mobile and portable gaming market in the 2000s and 2010s.
In the broader awards landscape, it is noted that Baldur’s Gate 3 was honored as the best game at the 2024 BAFTA Games Awards, a recognition that sits alongside Gameloft’s historical influence in the mobile space. The shift in Gameloft’s regional structure and ongoing catalog of popular franchises illustrates the dynamic relationship between global publishers and regional markets, where strategic restructuring can accompany continued intellectual property development and cross‑platform ambitions.
