Who knew that healing with magic potions could be worth $1.9b? Just ask Nexters, the mobile game maker ready to go public through a SPAC deal with Kismet Acquisition One. Nexters is the creator behind the famous role-playing game Hero Wars, which had more than 120 million downloads on iOS and Android combined. Overall, the company has more than 200 million downloads and saw a 48% year-on-year revenue growth in the first quarter of 2021 (not bad for a couple of avatars shooting energy waves at each other).
All in all, the company will raise $132m from the SPAC deal, and the funds will be used to expand into mainstream genres to capture the attention of more casual players.
