Epic Games has opened a new office in Germany aimed at strengthening its publishing arms in Europe and Russia.
The Berlin-based location will be led by Paw Larsen and Sergey Galyonkin, directors for publishing in Western and Eastern Europe, respectively.
Larsen previously headed up eSports publishing for League of Legends studio Riot Games, while Galyonkin was a senior analyst at World of Tanks developer Wargaming before joining Epic.
“The best way to serve our players is to have a local presence,” said Epic president Paul Meegan.
Beginning next year, Unity developers will gain access to Fortnite's vast platform and creator economy.
Experts from 2K, Riot, Epic Games, and Krafton have founded Games Growth Guild, a global network for marketing and publishing professionals.
Google has agreed to implement a tiered fee system and expand access to alternative app stores in a settlement with Epic Games.
