Company Summary

As mobile devices get more powerful, consumers are demanding more immersive, core games yet many development studios lack the skills or resources to build them. Avakin is a development platform that picks up where Unity leaves off and makes building core games for mobile easy. Built by Lockwood Studios, one of PlayStation's premier developers, Avakin launched in December 2013 and has gotten almost 2 million downloads since that time.
