Localized versions of RockYou’s popular Zoo World 2™ game will be available in Turkey and additional countries across the Middle East, increasing the global reach and distribution of RockYou’s titles while preserving a quality game experience for players everywhere.
“Working with RockYou enables us to bring engaging games to Turkey and MENA expanding the Zoo World community”
Peak Games, the largest social gaming company in Turkey, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and who is globally ranked among the top 10 in DAUs, has signed on to be the exclusive distributor and publisher for Zoo World 2 in these regions. Peak Games will be responsible for handling localization, marketing, user acquisition, customer support, and community management.

For Zoo World 2 Peak will be incorporating both Turkish and Modern Arabic language, and culturally specific enhancements into the game for each region.
“Working with RockYou enables us to bring engaging games to Turkey and MENA expanding the Zoo World community,” said Sidar Sahin, CEO of Peak Games. “We have a deep understanding of our markets and we’re able to tailor the game and offer support according to our audience’s expectations and needs.”
