Opti Games

Founded by a unique blend of experienced indie founders and an elite group of Riot/Blizzard veterans, Opti Games blends passionate indie magic with AAA-level quality and scale (aka Triple-I). Opti focuses on creating "Golden Retriever" games, that is, endlessly optimistic experiences with mass appeal where players log off happier than when they logged on. Our first game, Sparkball, is a 4v4 competitive “sport brawler” where teams must balance both ballin' and brawlin' to score in the enemy team's goal! Affectionately described as League of Legends meets Rocket League/FIFA (FutLoL), Sparkball packs an immediate action-combat punch to grip players and backs it up with a surprising level of depth as they itemize their hero, discover new strategies, and learn the power of elite teamwork! Sparkball has hosted two successful Early Access weekends with over 5,000 unique players and received overwhelmingly positive feedback (4.8 out of 5 for "is it fun?"), including long-term partnership deals with 10 of the largest esport orgs in the world (FNC, G2, C9, TL, etc.) You can check out the official trailer for Sparkball at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvk0a0wvUzk
