by admin in Jul 10, 2020
We would like to introduce you to the acclaimed Brazilian game development studio Hermit Crab Game Studio. The team expertly blends the excitement and heart-pounding intensity of real-world sports by partnering with some of the biggest sports brands, with the immersive experience virtual reality has to offer. Hermit Crab sets the bar high for studios wanting to bring something new to the virtual world, furthering the explosive growth of the Brazilian gaming industry. We’d like to offer you an opportunity to interview this incredible team and to check out their latest title Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Football Freestyle.
Hermit Crab Game Studio is yet another example of one of the many critically acclaimed game studios finding success in Brazil’s thriving games industry. The studio is a prominent member of Brazil Games — an export program created by the Brazilian Game Companies Association, ABRAGAMES, in partnership with Apex-Brasil, the Brazilian Trade, and Investment Promotion Agency.
Hermit Crab specializes in the merging of real-world sports and their virtual counterparts. CEO and co-founder Matheus Vivian played professional sports before getting into the gaming scene, and CCO and co-founder Guilherme Gonçalves brings his digital arts expertise to the studio. Together, along with the rest of their French and Brazilian team, they seek to build long-term relationships with the world’s biggest sports brands, like Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal FC, each with unique official games. With an eye towards progressing the industry both technologically and ethically, Hermit Crab is also the first studio to bring official women’s teams to the mobile sports games market.
In Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Football Freestyle, the latest title from Hermit Crab, players can immerse themselves in the world of freestyle football, playing as the major star athletes in multiplayer challenges. PSG Football Freestyle won Best Game ‘Big Brands’ BIG Festival 2018 and was a finalist for Indie Prize London 2019. In celebration of the club’s 50th anniversary, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Football Freestyle is set to release for Android and iOS this August.
