Pioneering the energy sector for over a decade, uBroker Spa is making a bold move into the exciting world of video games. The Piedmont-based company, founded in 2014 by Cristiano Bilucaglia and Fabio Spallanzani, has invested €1 million in Memorable Games, a Turin-based software house. This strategic partnership brings Memorable Games into the Utilia holding, laying the foundation for a collaboration that aims to reshape both the Italian and international gaming industries.

This investment highlights uBroker's forward-thinking and innovative approach, constantly embracing emerging economic trends through diversification and technological growth. Memorable Games, previously known as MixedBag Srl, was chosen for its innovative spirit. From the augmented reality of Secret Oops! to the recently developed On Your Tail, this Turin-based hub has continually demonstrated its commitment to delivering unique and memorable gaming experiences.

The highly anticipated On Your Tail will launch on Steam on Monday, December 16, accompanied by an official presentation and celebratory event at uBroker’s headquarters in Collegno. The game will also arrive on Nintendo Switch in February 2025, marking another milestone through a collaboration with Nintendo.

Set in the picturesque seaside village of Borgo Marina, On Your Tail follows the adventures of Diana, a university student from Turin seeking the perfect summer vacation. For someone as curious as Diana, this means exploring her surroundings, meeting eccentric locals, enjoying iconic recreational activities, and uncovering Borgo Marina's most intriguing mysteries.

Cristiano Bilucaglia, President of uBroker Spa, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration:
"We are thrilled to step into the gaming world with this partnership. This synergy represents a bold leap into the future, blending two seemingly different industries that are deeply interconnected. Innovation is our common denominator. Together, we aim to create unique and engaging gaming experiences powered by increasingly sustainable energy solutions. Imagine a world where video games not only entertain but also serve as a bridge to a greener future, raising awareness and promoting energy efficiency. This collaboration opens up new frontiers, allowing us to combine our specialized skills to amplify the impact of our products and services."

Mauro Fanelli, CEO of Memorable Games, shared his perspective:
"Like many Italian indie studios, Memorable Games was founded by two partners and has grown bootstrapped for over a decade without external support. For a long time, we searched for the ideal partner to take our company to the next level, and we found a perfect match in Cristiano and uBroker. They understand and believe in the immense potential of this unique industry, where Italian investments are still rare. With On Your Tail, we’ve already experienced substantial growth and now, more than ever, we need the resources and support to ensure continued development. Our goal is to create increasingly ambitious projects that can leave a mark in the global video game market, where Italian indie studios are often struggling to finding their voice. We hope to see more partnerships like this in the future, showcasing the incredible talent Italy has to offer."

This investment will provide Memorable Games with the resources necessary to accelerate the development of new projects and strengthen its global market presence. The collaboration offers a unique opportunity to amplify the impact of Italian creative talent and establish both companies as pioneers in their respective industries.
