01/21/2021

In January 2021, team-based tactical shooter Warface reached 100 million registered users. Over more than 8 years several studios have been working on the development of the game simultaneously, which allows Warface to be supported on all current platforms, regularly adding unique content for millions of players around the world.

Alexey Izotov, Head of Global Publishing at MY.GAMES:

“For us, Warface is a special product that has been successfully developing for eight years. The game has reached an all-time high of 100 million players, has received support for new languages, and is expanding into new markets. In particular, the game was previously relaunched in Brazil and its launch in Turkey is being prepared very soon. Throughout the existence of the franchise, a huge number of people with different ideas and visions worked on its development, which largely determined its success for many years. We are grateful to all our developers and players for this new frontier."

Since 2017, after Allods Team, the internal studio of MY.GAMES, joined the development, console versions of the game were released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and for the Nintendo Switch in 2020. Warface became the world's first game for Nintendo Switch powered by CryEngine, and the number of players on this platform has already exceeded 3.5 million. Also in 2020, the studio introduced the first premium shooter in the franchise - Warface: Breakout, which attracted a lot of attention from US players. Since 2019, the Blackwood Games studio has been developing the PC version of the game, with the contract expiring in March 2021. Under Blackwood Games, the game has already received various technical updates, including the introduction of an updated network anti-aliasing system, which significantly improved the gaming experience in multiplayer battles.
