Nazara Technologies has announced the acquisition of 100% ownership in Curve Digital Entertainment Limited, a UK-based publisher of PC and console games, for Rs 247 crore ($29 million). The deal is being executed through its wholly owned subsidiary, Nazara Technologies UK Ltd, the company informed in a stock exchange filing on Tuesday. CDEL, a leading video game publisher for console and PC platforms, will become a step-down subsidiary of Nazara following the transaction. The deal also includes Curve’s six subsidiaries, such as Kuju Ltd, Runner Duck Games, and IronOak Games, which will be integrated into Nazara’s portfolio upon completion. CDEL is being acquired from Catalis Group, a UK-based media and entertainment company that owns a portfolio of interactive entertainment and QA/testing firms. The acquisition aligns with Nazara’s strategy to expand its footprint in premium game publishing globally. With a strong lineup of original IPs and a proven track record, Curve reported revenues of Rs 263.5 crore and EBITDA of GBP 10.6 million (approximately Rs 120 crore) in CY24. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Nazara’s presence in key gaming markets, including the US, UK, Japan, and South Korea. According to Nazara, the transaction will be funded through intra-group debt and is expected to close within 45 days, subject to regulatory clearances and other customary conditions. Recently, Absolute Sports, a subsidiary of Nazara Technologies and the parent company of Sportskeeda.com, signed definitive agreements to acquire TJRWrestling.net and ITRWrestling.com from Titan Insider Digital. In January 2025, it purchased two mobile games, King of Thieves and CATS: Crash Arena Turbo Stars, from Zeptolab for USD 7.7 million. Nazara has also set aside $100 million for future mergers and acquisitions to further its global expansion strategy. While Nazara has yet to file its Q4 FY25 results, its operating revenue rose by 67% to Rs 535 crore in Q3 FY25 from Rs 320 crore in Q3 FY24. During the period, the company’s profit fell by 53.6% year-on-year to Rs 13.7 crore.
