Miniclip has acquired PowerWash Simulator maker FuturLab.
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but FuturLab did say that CEO Kirsty Rigden will continue to lead the Brighton-based team, which will “still have autonomy” over its studio operations and the games it develops under the Miniclip umbrella. Aream, Lewis Silkin and Lvl Up helped push the deal through.
Miniclip CEO Saad Choudri said of the deal: “In March, we proudly welcomed the award-winning game studio, FuturLab, to the Miniclip Group. The success of PowerWash has catapulted the studio into a genre leader and pioneer in the market for ‘games that soothe’.”
“Supported by a thriving and highly engaged community of PowerWash fans and with an exciting pipeline of growth opportunities in the soothing genre, FuturLab is a very welcome addition to our ever-growing, Miniclip Group.”
FutureLab’s Rigden added: “We’re proud to say that we are now part of the Miniclip family,” said Rigden. “It’s exciting for us to charter a course that brings Miniclip into the PC/console space.”
“Followers of the studio will notice not much has changed; we still have autonomy over our studio operations and the games we develop. However, this new security will allow us to bring you many more, great games in the years to come”.
Miniclip’s last high profile deal was its acquisition of Subway Surfers maker Sybo, back in June 2022.
