Company profile
researched Aug 2026Snowprint Studios is a mobile game developer founded in 2015 and based in Stockholm, Sweden and Berlin, Germany. The company builds mid-core free-to-play mobile titles aimed at what it calls the "everyday gamer", with a stated focus on making deeper gameplay experiences accessible on mobile devices. Its teams are internationally staffed.
The studio's portfolio centres on turn-based tactical strategy and collection-based games. Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus is a turn-based tactical strategy title licensed from Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe, in which players assemble collections of units across Space Marine, Imperial, Chaos and Xenos factions for fast tactical skirmishes; its global launch date was announced by Gamespot in July 2022. Legend of Solgard is set in a Norse-inspired world facing Ragnarok, where the protagonist Embla gathers an army of creatures to fight encroaching winter. Rivengard is set in a fractured world where five gods rally competing factions to conquer a newly discovered hidden continent. Solgard, Rivengard and Legend of Solgard are registered trademarks of Snowprint Studios AB.
In November 2023 the company announced that Modern Times Group (MTG) had acquired a majority stake in the studio.
Business model
The company develops and operates free-to-play mobile games, a model in which titles are distributed without an upfront purchase price. It works with licensed intellectual property, as with Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus under Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe, alongside its own owned brands Solgard and Rivengard.

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus launched globally in 2022 following a launch-date announcement by Gamespot, and in December 2022 the company said community voting had lifted the game in a game-of-the-year vote. In November 2023, Modern Times Group acquired a majority stake in the studio.
