Shadow Fight 2 developer Nekki looks to maintain momentum as it surpasses 250M mobile installs

Russian gaming is more than just World of Tanks and shady markets for Steam keys.

Developer Nekki announced today that its games have surpassed 250 million installs worldwide. This makes the Moscow-based company the second largest publisher of games in Russia, according to market-intelligence firm AppAnnie. The studio is now working on Vector 2, which is a sequel to its popular parkour running game, and Nekki is expecting this will lead its charge to the next 250 million downloads. Globally, gaming on mobile devices has grown into a $30 billion business, and this creates a market where companies like Nekki can generate serious levels of revenue from one or two massive hits.
