Disruptor Beam and Tilting Point Expand Partnership with Additional $29M Deal
Independent mobile game developer Disruptor Beam has announced an expended partnership with Tilting Point valued at around $29 million. Thanks to this expanded partnership the goal is to enable additional growth of Disruptor Beam‘s hit free-to-play game, Star Trek Timelines, as well as the co-development of another IP-based character-collection RPG (CCRPG).
The deal has an initial value of at least $29 million and follows on the success of an agreement signed last year between the two companies in which Tilting Point, based in New York City, funded user acquisition (UA) campaigns for Boston-area Disruptor Beam, which also counts the long-running Game of Thrones Ascent in its portfolio.
Tilting Point will handle the marketing, sales and distribution of Star Trek Timelines. As part of the agreement, Tilting Point will also co-fund the development of a new licensed CCRPG built on the same successful game engine that drives exceptionally high retention and revenue-per-user for Disruptor Beam’s other titles. Tilting Point will publish the to-be-announced game, with Disruptor Beam providing development, ongoing liveops, and support. Star Trek Timelines has been downloaded nearly 6 million times since its debut on mobile devices in early 2016, reaching the Top 50 Grossing games list and earning over $72 million to date.
