Babil Games

Babil Games is a mobile game developer and publisher focused on the Middle East and North Africa and Arabic-speaking players internationally. Founded in 2012 by brothers Mohammad "MJ" Fahmi and Abdullah "AJ" Fahmi, the company connects international game developers with regional audiences through culturally adapted games, publishing support and ongoing player engagement.

Its work combines game development with the adaptation of international titles for Arabic-speaking markets. Localization extends beyond translated text to voiceovers, visual assets, iconography, interface design and narrative changes. The company uses regional player insights and market analysis to guide product positioning and onboarding, helping developers adapt games to the expectations of their intended audiences.

Publishing and ongoing operations

Babil Games supports the publishing process from regional strategy and creative production through launch marketing and live operations. Its capabilities include localized game art, promotional videos, App Store Optimization, performance marketing and user acquisition. Technical support covers SDK integration, game engine support, bug triage and server monitoring, connecting publishing activities with the practical requirements of operating mobile games.

After launch, the company provides Arabic-speaking customer support, community moderation, player retention programmes and event management. Its live operations work includes culturally relevant seasonal events, such as Ramadan activities, alongside ongoing monetization adjustments and community engagement. These functions support games throughout their operating life rather than ending at release.

The portfolio spans military, science-fiction, historical and fantasy strategy games, alongside casual and card-based experiences. Representative titles include Nida Harb, Nida Harb 3, Strike of Nations, The Grand Frontier, Al General and Baloot Royale. The supplied research reports more than 60 million downloads across over 50 countries.

Babil Games maintains a corporate base in Dubai and an operational studio in Amman. Following its acquisition by Stillfront Group in December 2016, it continues to operate as a semi-autonomous company within the group’s international network of game developers and publishers.
