Indian gaming company Nazara continues to grow and has now acquired Curve Games, an established digital publisher from the UK and partner of Austrian studio Microbird, among others. Nazara is the parent company of esports company Nodwin, which acquired Freaks 4U in 2024.

According to LinkedIn posts confirming the deal by Nazara Technologies and Catalis Group, owner of Curve Games, Curve will remain an independent company.

"This deal is a perfect fit. We’re joining a group that lives and breathes games and tech – including mobile, where we’ve barely scratched the surface. With Nazara, we will build on our strengths across console and PC, staying true to our indie spirit. It's still about great games, great studios, and great players. Our next chapter starts here", says Curve Games Chairman Stuart Dinsey.

And Nitish Mittersain, CEO of Nazara Technologies, adds: "Curve’s proven publishing expertise and strong track record with indie studios make them a perfect fit for Nazara’s vision in premium gaming. This acquisition not only brings valuable IP, global market access, and a highly experienced team into our fold – it also reflects our broader strategy of doubling down on core gaming. We’re committed to scaling high-quality game IPs, investing in new development, and supporting passionate indie creators as we build a global gaming powerhouse from India."

The acquisition of Curve Games, which markets Dungeon of Hinterberg from Austrian company Microbird Games, among other titles, is just another step in the Indian gaming and esports company's international expansion strategy. Nazara has also acquired German company Freaks 4U through its esports subsidiary Nodwin Gaming in 2024.
