The Gun and the Frag:
two new development studios join the RCP family
Munich, March 6th, 2020 – remote control productions announced the two latest additions to their international family of game developers. CEO Hendrik Lesser welcomed Giant Gun Games from Germany and Frag Games from Pakistan. “We have been focusing on international expansion a lot over the last three years,” said Lesser. “However, at the same time, we always said that we keep looking for great talents in our backyard. In this light, I’m happy that we deliver on both promises: expanding to the APAC region by signing Frag Games on the one hand and adding the skilled team from Giant Gun Games from our home market Germany”, the CEO continued.
Frag Games is a full-service game studio from Lahore, Pakistan, with a headcount of 60 people. Describing themselves as a close-knit team of game designers, artists, quality analysts, and engineers that represent the best talent the country has to offer. “The partnership with RCP is key to taking Frag to the next level. We’ve worked on our craft since 2013, building a team that understands both the joy and toil of games. We’re delighted to join the RCP family – their culture, experience, business savvy and industry knowledge are second to none. We are passionate about making great games and fully believe this deal is the best path to our goal: firmly planting Pakistan on the game industry map.”, said Ali Ihsan, CEO of Frag Games.
Giant Gun Games was founded in 2018 by Sascha Henrichs, a veteran of the German Games Industry with Game Designer and 3D Artist credits on the successful Gothic and the Risen series. The nine-strong team unites a mix of veterans and young guns, who are actively working on Maze Slaughter, a rogue-lite first-person shooter. “RCP is excellently positioned in all areas related to game development. We are happy that Giant Gun Games has found a strong partner in RCP, who has our backs covered and paves the way for successful development!” commented Henrichs on the partnership.
RCP will represent both teams in their Business Development efforts and provide their expertise for Game Production, Finance management, HR, and Marketing.
