Japan – Swintt pens distribution agreement with slot studio founded by NatsumeAtari

Swintt and Samurai Studio have entered an agreement to distribute games via the SwinttStudios partnership programme.

Rolled out earlier this year, SwinttStudios is an initiative developed by the Malta-based company that allows boutique software providers to develop and distribute games within the existing Swintt framework. The programme enables partners to focus mainly on the design and theme of their titles while Swintt handles game logic and product delivery.

As one of the few video slot developers in Japan that can already boast global operations, Samurai Studio will use the opportunity to tap into Swintt’s distribution network and back-end tools, extending its brand outreach.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, commented: “With NatsumeAtari having only launched Samurai Studio two years ago, we’ve been impressed with what the developer has already achieved in such a short space of time – but with SwinttStudios, we’ll be able to help them reach the next level.

“看到工作室在设计和创新方面的天赋，我们现在可以将游戏逻辑和产品交付的具体细节从他们手中拿走。 这将使他们能够将尖端游戏开发作为他们的主要优先事项，因为我们的分销网络确保他们通过 SwinttStudios 合作伙伴计划创建的独家游戏到达他们需要看到的所有市场。”

With history dating back to 1987, NatsumeAtari was first established as a business that provided technology, artwork and services to video game companies and pachinko machine developers. With a group philosophy that reads “happiness to everyone involved with NatsumeAtari”, it wasn’t until October 2020 that Samurai Studio was created and the group turned its hand to video slot creation.

NatsumeAtari will now use this industry experience to develop a series of exclusive games via the SwinttStudios partnership programme, giving new and existing players alike the chance to experience a range of video slots that each come with their own unique themes and features.

Mitsuhiro Koide, Chief Operating Officer at NatsumeAtari, added: “Having founded our company with a mission to spread happiness to everyone involved with NatsumeAtari, we’re delighted the joy we provide to players will now reach even further through our partnership with SwinttStudios.

“通过与 Swintt 联手开展这项激动人心的事业，我们才华横溢的设计师和开发人员团队可以专注于创造最令人身临其境和令人愉悦的游戏，而 Swint 的发行解决方案和深入的行业知识帮助我们将我们的产品推向市场。全新的观众。”
