Its recognition in the Best Game Studio category further underlines the company’s regional activity and its commitment to delivering content shaped around market needs and player expectations.
Lastly, the Industry Impact Award nomination points to Wazdan’s broader contribution to the sector, from product development and partner support to the consistent expansion of its presence across key regulated markets. Meanwhile, the individual nominations for Michal Imiolek and Andrzej Hyla recognise the leadership, strategic direction and team-first approach that continue to guide the company’s growth.
