Mobile game publisher developing cross-platform multiplayer titles at scale
FunPlus operates a distributed game development studio spanning offices in Spain, Portugal, and China, with a tech stack rooted in Unreal Engine, C++, and Maya—typical of mid-to-large publishers. The pain-point pattern (cross-platform performance, art-to-engineering coordination, office infrastructure) and active projects (shader optimization, combat balance frameworks, network upgrades) reveal an organization managing the operational complexity of shipping live games across mobile and web platforms simultaneously. Hiring is decelerating (2 roles in 30 days) and weighted toward design and senior talent, suggesting a consolidation phase after earlier scaling.
FunPlus is a privately held game publisher founded in 2010, with roughly 2,000 employees across studios in Spain, Portugal, and China. The company develops and publishes multiplayer strategy and action titles—including DC: Dark Legion, State of Survival, King of Avalon, and Stormshot—targeting global mobile audiences. Development centers on Unreal Engine and proprietary tools, with active work on cross-platform performance optimization, animation systems, and live-game balance mechanics. The organization combines creative talent (character design, environment art) with engineering (gameplay systems, networking) and operates a distributed studio model requiring coordination across time zones and office locations.
Unreal Engine is the primary engine. The stack also includes MEL and Maya for 3D art, 3ds Max for modeling, and C++ for core systems development.
FunPlus is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland (Zurich Area), though the company operates studios in Spain, Portugal, and China.
