Blue Byte is a leading publisher and developer of AAA PC, console, browser and mobile games in Germany. In 2013, Blue Byte celebrates its 25th Anniversary with the acquisition of its longstanding partner studio Related Designs, which is now fully embedded into the Blue Byte studio structure. With this acquisition Blue Byte is now present in Düsseldorf, Mainz and Bucharest. Founded in 1988 one of the studio’s first hits became The Settlers® in 1993. The company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ubisoft in 2001. With the acquisition of Sunflowers in 2007 Blue Byte took charge of the ANNO® Series. The release of The Settlers Online® in 2010 turned Blue Byte into the center of excellence for free-to-play gaming within Ubisoft, while also pushing into the mobile market. Today, Blue Byte is a multiplatform studio developing, operating and marketing its games on a global level. It is now a 350+ person studio continuing to grow. Blue Byte was recently awarded Best European Studio 2012. As part of the Ubisoft group, the Blue Byte teams are part of a global network of 26 studios, collaborating with studios across the world to create the next generation of Ubisoft brands on various platforms.
