Core-Focused Social Game Developer Kabam Expands To Europe

Global Warfare and Kingdoms of Camelot developer Kabam has opened a new European office, which will focus on localization and customer support for its international market. The new Luxembourg ofice will be led by managing director Boris Pfeiffer, formerly of Monster Worldwide. It currently houses around 25 employees, but that number is expected to double by year's end. "Kabam is committed to serving its international customers and enhancing their game experience," said Pfeiffer. "Translating games so players can experience them in their native languages while receiving localized support makes for a much more engaging and immersive gaming experience." According to Kabam COO Chris Carvalho, the expansion may be the first step to establishing a development studio in Europe. Kabam was recently granted $85 million in funding, bringing the company's total funding up to $125 million.
