Its active portfolio includes location-based AR games, RPGs, city-builders, and simulation titles such as Jurassic World Alive, Jurassic World: The Game, Lovelink, Dragons: Rise of Berk, Dragons: Titan Uprising, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Legends.

Product overview

Ludia is a mobile game studio (not an enterprise software company) that develops and publishes a portfolio of mobile games for iOS and Android. The company operates a multi-title portfolio of consumer mobile games rather than a unified platform architecture. The core active portfolio includes six flagship titles: Jurassic World Alive (location-based AR game), Jurassic World: The Game (combat game), Lovelink (dating simulation), Dragons: Rise of Berk (city-builder), Dragons: Titan Uprising (RPG), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Legends (action RPG). These games leverage licensed intellectual properties from Universal Studios, DreamWorks Animation, Viacom, and others, along with original Ludia IP. The company also maintains a catalog of legacy titles. Revenue is generated through in-app purchases of virtual currency and items, in-app subscriptions, and advertising.

Ludia competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

Miniclip: Swiss-based mobile and online game publisher (8 Ball Pool, Subway Surfers publishing); comparable mid-sized independent publisher with cross-platform casual titles and IAP-plus-ads monetization.
Jam City: Former US-based owner of Ludia and a comparable mid-to-large mobile game publisher focused on licensed-IP titles (e.g., Harry Potter, Frozen, Marvel); closely comparable business model and genre mix, making it the most direct reference point for Ludia's pre-buyout structure.
Niantic: Developer of Pokémon GO and other location-based AR mobile games using Mapbox-class geo infrastructure; the closest peer to Jurassic World Alive's geo-AR gameplay and a benchmark for monetizing GPS-anchored mobile experiences at scale.
Scopely: Major mobile game publisher built largely on licensed-IP and franchise extensions (Monopoly GO!, Stumble Guys, Marvel Strike Force); comparable freemium, IAP-heavy monetization model and similar reliance on third-party IPs.
Outfit7: Slovenia-based mobile game studio behind Talking Tom and other casual IPs; comparable mid-cap scale, freemium model, heavy reliance on mobile ad networks, and family/character-driven franchises.
Kabam: Mobile game developer of licensed-IP titles (Marvel Contest of Champions, Disney Mirrorverse); similar freemium, IP-licensed positioning and global UA-driven live-ops model.
Rovio Entertainment: Finland-based mobile game studio best known for Angry Birds; comparable in size and emphasis on a single iconic IP extended across multiple mobile titles, now part of Sega. Useful comparable for IP-driven mobile franchises.

Broad incumbents

Zynga: One of the largest mobile/social game publishers globally (FarmVille, Words With Friends, CSR Racing) now under Take-Two; provides the broader public-market benchmark for freemium mobile gaming economics and live-ops scale.
Gameloft: Established mobile game publisher with a deep catalog of licensed-IP mobile titles (Asphalt, Disney Magic Kingdoms); broader portfolio scale but same freemium, IP-licensed, mobile-first structure.
Playtika: Public mobile gaming company specializing in casual and casino-style free-to-play titles (Bingo Blitz, Slotomania); comparable freemium monetization, heavy reliance on UA networks, and live-ops-driven LTV optimization.
