Finland-based publisher and developer RedLynx has announced that 2009 was “its most successful year ever”.
Worldwide sales of the four titles the company published or co-published last year - Trials HD (Xbox Live Arcade), Monster Trucks Nitro (PC, iPhone) and DrawRace (iPhone) – reached 1.5 million units.
"In 2008 we published one game, Trials 2 SE for PC," said RedLynx CEO Tero Virtala. "It was well received and sold more than 150.000 copies. After that release, we started to focus more heavily on developing and publishing our multiplatform games on digital channels, significantly increasing sales. Obviously, that strategy has worked well."
RedLynx also offers free promotional web versions of most of its games, and these titles were played 100 million times last year, according to the firm.
"This year is looking even better, as we're bringing 8-10 new games to market," said Virtala. "We have experienced teams, strong partners, and a unique development model that lets us significantly expand our offerings while keeping the extremely high quality for which our games are known."
RedLynx creative director and co-founder Antti Ilvessuo added: "Making great games that resonate with gamers from all around the world is the key to our success. We strive to add that extra something that players love, and they have responded."
