Ludia, Inc. at a Glance

Ludia is a Canadian company based in Montreal that started making games in 2007. The studio has released a total of 22 titles on PlayPile since their first game came out in 2008. Their output grew significantly over the years, with five games appearing in the 2000s and fifteen more released during the 2010s. Activity slowed down in the 2020s with only two releases recorded so far. The company has focused on cross-platform development, making their games available on iOS, Android, Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox 360, and web browsers at various points. Their catalog is heavily skewed toward specific genres. They have produced eleven simulator games and ten quiz or trivia titles. Puzzle games make up seven of their entries, while they have also tackled role-playing, adventure, and strategy genres to a lesser extent. A large portion of their work relies on branded properties from television shows, movies, board games, and game shows. This approach led to some of their highest-rated releases, including The Price is Right in 2010 with a score of 90 and Family Feud: 2012 Edition in 2011 which scored 80. Quality control varies across their portfolio. Their average rating sits at 65.1 out of 100 based on nine reviewed titles. The breakdown shows two great games, four good ones, and three mixed titles. There are no poor-rated games in their history, but they have not consistently delivered high scores outside of their branded hits. Jurassic World Alive came out in 2018 with a score of 70, while Jurassic Park: Builder from 2012 scored 65.2. The Jurassic World mobile game from 2015 received a 60 rating. Recent efforts like DC Heroes & Villains and Lovelink have not yet broken into the top tier of their catalog. While they were active until 2021, their release schedule has thinned considerably compared to their peak in the 2010s. They seem to prioritize licensed content over original IP creation. Their platform reach is wide, but they do not dominate any single market, instead spreading their titles across mobile and console ecosystems depending on the licensing deal at the time.
