Voodoo suggests ways to bring Vietnamese games to the global rankings

Voodoo, the world’s leading mobile game publisher from France, organized an in-depth seminar for the Vietnamese game development community at Vietnam GameVerse 2026, May 8-9.

The topic of the sharing session revolved around the practical question: “How to launch globally successful puzzle and midcore games from Vietnam”. The content is adapted from the corporation’s internal guidance documents, focusing on how to evaluate a game concept, how to quickly verify ideas, and the line between ideas worth investing in and those that should be discarded early.

Attending studios and publishers attentively followed the presented content. The Q&A session was lively with conversations lasting long after the presentation ended.

During the seminar, Voodoo representatives led many real-life examples to show the potential. Sand Loop – IAP puzzle game co-developed by Voodoo with a Vietnamese studio, after a month of launch, it climbed to the top of the free game rankings in the US and closed the first quarter with more than 10 million USD in revenue from IAP alone. According to the unit, Vietnam’s competitive development capacity and costs, when combined with the methodical methods of a global corporation, can completely create products that conquer the most demanding markets in the world.

In addition to finding and accompanying leading studios in Vietnam, Voodoo said it will invest long-term in the Vietnamese gaming ecosystem through Gaming Academy – an in-depth training program, currently open for registration for the 3rd term. The program provides in-depth training on Hybrid Puzzle, support for prototype implementation, and access to technological and financial resources from Voodoo.
