EKO Software

EKO Software at a Glance

Eko Software, founded in France in 1999, has released 32 titles on PlayPile with a clear shift in production volume over the last two decades. The studio was quiet during its first decade, releasing only five games between 2000 and 2009. Activity surged in the 2010s when they produced 20 games, followed by seven releases in the 2020s so far. They operate primarily as a developer with 31 credited titles, though they also published one game under their own name. Their portfolio spans many genres, but adventure games and role-playing games are the most common, accounting for 11 and 9 titles respectively. Sport games follow with seven releases, while arcade, hack and slash, puzzle, strategy, simulator, platform, and tactical games fill out the rest of their catalog. The company targets a wide range of hardware, with PC Microsoft Windows being the dominant platform at 22 games. They also have significant presence on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo 3DS. Their average IGDB rating sits at 60.7 across 11 rated titles, which indicates a pattern of mixed to good quality rather than critical acclaim. No titles in their rated list reached the great category of 80 or higher. Seven games scored in the good range between 60 and 79, while four others fell into the mixed category from 40 to 59. There are no poor-rated games in this dataset, but the lack of high scores suggests their output is generally average rather than exceptional. Some of their better-received works include How to Survive from 2013 with a score of 76.8, followed by Handball 16 in 2015 at 70. They continued this trend with Welcome to Paradize in 2024 and Warhammer: Chaosbane in 2019, both scoring around 68 to 70 points. Recent releases show they are still active, with Dragonkin: The Banished arriving in March 2025 and the Paradize Project launching in early 2024. Their sports division remains steady with Rugby 22 and Handball 21 appearing in recent years. Eko Software was acquired by Bigben Interactive, now known as Nacon, in 2018, which likely influenced their continued output across multiple generations of consoles from the PlayStation 2 to the latest PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
