About Gala Games
Gala Games is a video game developer and publisher focused on Web3 gaming and player ownership of digital assets. Founded in 2018, it combines internally developed games, publishing partnerships and blockchain infrastructure. Its gaming platform sits within the broader Gala entertainment ecosystem, which also encompasses music and film.
The company's approach connects familiar game formats with blockchain features such as transferable digital items, virtual currencies and smart contracts. Its portfolio spans competitive farming, fantasy role-playing, vehicle combat, strategy and simulation. Supported platforms include PC, Mac and mobile, with free-to-play, play-to-earn and hybrid game economies represented across its activities.
Development and publishing
Gala Games develops its own projects while working with independent studios on published and jointly developed titles. Its in-house projects include Town Star and Mirandus. Collaborations include Spider Tanks with GAMEDIA, Legacy with 22cans, Champions Arena with OneUniverse and Echoes of Empire with Ion Games. These relationships give its platform a range of genres while retaining distinct development teams behind individual games.
In January 2023, Gala Games acquired mobile developer Ember Entertainment, expanding its mobile portfolio and bringing games such as Dragon Strike: Puzzle RPG and Meow Match into its blockchain integration efforts. The acquisition forms part of its work connecting established mobile gameplay with digital asset ownership.
Platform and infrastructure
Beyond individual games, Gala provides infrastructure for developers and players through GalaChain, its proprietary Layer-1 blockchain. Its ecosystem includes a digital asset marketplace, Gala Wallet, the GalaPump token launchpad and GalaSwap. Development tools support integration with Unity, Unreal Engine and mobile applications.
Gala Games operates through a globally distributed, remote-first workforce rather than a network of commercial development offices. Its operating model brings together game development, third-party publishing and blockchain services, supporting both its own projects and external teams building within the Gala ecosystem.
