“Acclaim has a great portfolio of games, and TALAKA is another standout title that deserves to be discovered, played, and loved by gamers. That’s exactly what Ludeo is built to do. By turning game content into playable experiences, we help publishers engage audiences in a new way and bring more potential players to their games — and closer to a purchase. We’re excited to kick off our partnership with Acclaim at Steam Next Fest.” – Asaf Gazit, CEO of Ludeo.
Ludeo’s data show that players who tried a Ludeo were 5x more likely to visit a game’s store page than those who didn’t. Among players who spent more than four minutes playing, the likelihood was 8x higher.
“At Acclaim, we believe discovering a great game should be just as exciting as playing it. TALAKA is exactly the kind of experience that deserves to be put directly into players’ hands, and our partnership with Ludeo gives us another way to make that happen. We’re not interested in simply asking players to watch another trailer and hope they’re convinced. We want them to jump in, experience the gameplay, and discover firsthand what makes these independent games special. Steam Next Fest is the perfect opportunity to bridge that gap between curiosity and engagement, and TALAKA is just the beginning of what we see as a much larger opportunity across Acclaim’s growing portfolio.” – Marc Anthony Rodriguez, Director of Publishing & Strategic Partnerships, Acclaim
