Helika Partners with Ubisoft after $8M Raise

Helika, a leading global infrastructure provider for traditional and web3 gaming, has just announced an exciting new partnership with Ubisoft, the leading global gaming publisher and editor, to facilitate the AAA studio's exploration into web3 gaming.

Helika will provide Ubisoft with cutting-edge analytics, user acquisition, deep funnel attribution and game management infrastructure products as Ubisoft explores the use cases of web3 for its players.

Anton Umnov, CEO of Helika, commented on the announcement, stating: "We look forward to powering Ubisoft and are excited to be working with one of the world's leading gaming publishers and editors. One of the key challenges game studios face when building in web3 is that there's a lack of plug-and-play infrastructure solutions. Helika solves this by providing core gaming infrastructure like analytics, game management, and user acquisition out of the box in a seamless and integrated solution."
