The company is leveraging strategic partnerships and bold initiatives to capture opportunities in the burgeoning esports and gaming markets.
$40 Million Partnership with Abu Dhabi Investment Office

NASDAQ: NIPG’s Bold Entry Into the MOBA Arena
NIPG recently expanded into the dynamic Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) market with the launch of its sci-fi-themed mobile game, Re: Aetatis.

The title represents a significant milestone in NIP Group’s evolution from an esports organization to a comprehensive digital entertainment powerhouse.
Through its proprietary “esportsification” approach, NIP Group is creating an ecosystem around Re: Aetatis, combining game publishing with esports competition, event production, and talent management. The game has already garnered substantial player attention and is poised to become a flagship title in the company’s growing portfolio.
Strategic Collaboration with The9 Limited
In addition to its MOBA initiative, NIP Group partnered with The9 Limited, a leading Chinese game developer, to transform MIR M into a competitive esports title. This collaboration will focus on integrating esports features, creating tournament systems, and developing synchronized marketing campaigns to engage the game’s vast player base.
The partnership highlights NIP Group’s ability to leverage its expertise in esports, event production, and marketing to create sustainable ecosystems for new game titles.
