Yggdrasil has secured the first commercial deployment of its Studio in a Box programme after agreeing to a multi-year partnership with Eeze.
The deal will allow Eeze to utilise Yggdrasil’s Game in a Box technology to build and launch original slots without the cost and complexity of traditional game development.
Eeze is expected to launch its first two titles through the partnership towards the end of the year, with multiple regulated markets to receive a planned release cadence of two new games per month afterwards.
James Curwen, Chief Executive Officer at Yggdrasil, stated: “From the first conversations with Eeze, it was clear they had the ambition, the ideas and the commercial drive to build something meaningful. What they needed was the framework to do it at scale. That’s exactly why we created Studio in a Box.”
“We kept hearing the same thing from businesses across the industry: they wanted more control over their content roadmap, but didn’t want the cost and complexity that comes with building a large development operation from scratch. Seeing Eeze become the first partner to embrace this model is hugely exciting for us.”
Studio in a Box is described as an end-to-end game creation solution that ‘brings together Yggdrasil’s technology, development expertise, publishing capabilities and global distribution network under one roof’, helping partners turn ideas into games.
Game in a Box is a game development platform which combines advanced automation, machine learning and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate the creation of game mathematics, logic and source code, reduce development timelines and maintain high quality and performance standards.
Graeme Powrie, Chief Commercial Officer at Eeze, added: “This partnership with Yggdrasil is an important step in accelerating Eeze’s long‑term ambition. Studio in a Box allows us to scale our slots strategy at pace, extend our reach in the market, and build on the work already done to position Eeze as a dynamic provider.
“It sets us up strongly for the future as we continue to grow as a multi‑vertical supplier.”
