Wazdan, the leading gain-focused developer, has been shortlisted in two categories at the SBC Awards Europe 2026, earning recognition for both its creative execution and broader studio performance. The company has been nominated for Game Music / Soundtrack and Game Studio of the Year – Medium, as part of this year’s awards programme celebrating excellence across the European betting and gaming industry.
The nominations highlight two important sides of Wazdan’s identity. The Game Music / Soundtrack shortlist reflects the role that sound design and audio direction continue to play in shaping memorable game experiences. While the Game Studio of the Year – Medium nomination recognises the strength, consistency and ambition of Wazdan’s wider output as a studio operating across regulated markets.
Together, the shortlists underline Wazdan’s continued focus on building games that combine strong visual and technical execution with a clear product philosophy. Across its portfolio, the company continues to invest in in-house development, recognisable game families and distinctive gameplay experiences designed to deliver lasting value for both players and operator partners.
Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, commented:
“Being shortlisted in two categories at the SBC Awards Europe 2026 is a proud moment for the entire Wazdan team and a meaningful reflection of the work that goes into every part of what we create.
Game development is about much more than mechanics alone. The overall experience matters, and that includes the way a game looks, feels and sounds from the very first spin. To see Wazdan recognised both for soundtrack and for our wider studio performance is incredibly rewarding.”
