Blacknut cloud gaming outlines Gamescom 2024 activities including Booth, recent Business Announcements with Jio, Ubisoft, & Focus Entertainment, and gives sneak peaks at 2025 roadmap
Gamescom, the world's largest event for computer and video games, is set to take place in Cologne, Germany, in August 2024. This annual extravaganza is a mecca for gaming enthusiasts, industry professionals, and media from around the globe.
The Blacknut Cloud Gaming Delegation, including CEO Olivier Avaro and VP of New Business Development & Licensing Nabil Laredj, will be present from August 21-25 at the Blacknut Booth to discuss all things Blacknut Cloud Gaming – including the cloud gaming platform’s newest expansion, the new Blacknut “+” space, newest publishing partner & fellow French gaming icon Ubisoft, and Blacknut’s debut launch in India with Jio.
Jio-Blacknut-Radian Arc Partnership
Jio, India's leading telecommunications company, Radian Arc, & Blacknut are thrilled to reveal a tripronged partnership to expand the India cloud gaming service. The cloud gaming service will be powered by Blacknut’s extensive gaming library and Radian Arcs GPU technology; the partnership will deliver a seamless and immersive gaming experience to millions of Jio users.
Blacknut’s New “+” space
Live since July 2024, the new “+” space is an innovative expansion to the Blacknut app enriched with new Blacknut product arrivals: Bonus Games & Pass.
Currently available exclusively for Blacknut B2C players, Pass allows players to subscribe to a Pass of choice, for an additional monthly fee.
These Pass subscriptions, created to benefit Blacknut Publishers, allow iconic game makers the opportunity to create subscription models, in a way otherwise unattainable to many; this exclusive space also allows publishers to directly engage Blacknut Pass member-players, providing them with exclusive perks, content packs, and more. The first Pass launched, available across the globe for users since July 16th, 2024, was the Pass: Focus Entertainment which brought more than 15 beloved Focus Entertainment IPs to the member space.
Also recently debuted in the “+” space expansion is new game discovery tool Bonus Games; the tool now upgrades all Blacknut subscriptions to automatically allow players the opportunity to select up to 5 bonus games from a curated list during a limited discovery window. These Bonus Games are carefully curated by the Blacknut Licensing Team from the over 150+ Blacknut licensing partnerships with the support of Blacknut publishers. The Blacknut team is excited to meet with new publishers and current Blacknut publishers throughout Gamescom to discuss opportunities for new Bonus Games tool slot opportunities.
Blacknut-Ubisoft Partnership
French Gaming icon Ubisoft also recently joined Blacknut’s Publisher repertoire.
The partnership will see Ubisoft games, including IPs from the Assassin's Creed Franchise amongst other Ubisoft franchises, available to Blacknut players starting August 20th, 2024 in the “+” space with exciting player and B2B partnership opportunities, offers, and news arriving throughout 2024.
With a blend of spectacular stage shows, esports competitions, and interactive panels, Gamescom 2024 promises to be an unforgettable celebration of gaming culture for the Blacknut team.
