In 2025, BitCake promises to launch new titles and improve its operations to provide even more immersive experiences for players, in line with its mission to create high-quality multiplayer games.
The announcement, however, did not reveal the value of the investment or details about future projects from the studio, which recently launched the shooter Atomic Picnic . However, the partnership signals a new chapter for both BitCake Studio and the gaming sector in Brazil.
