Virtuos furthers global growth ambitions with new studio in Kyiv, Ukraine

Virtuos, a leading global game development company, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Volmi Games (‘Volmi’), a 2D and 3D art production studio with 140 employees based in Kyiv, Ukraine. The expansion is a key part of Virtuos’ growth strategy, as it increases its global footprint to better meet the growing demands of its clients.

Volmi was co-founded by Vladimir Loban, Chief Executive Officer, and Miroslav Baranenko, Chief Operating Officer, in 2016. Prior to Volmi, both Loban and Baranenko held leadership positions at Wargaming Kyiv. The Volmi team has extensive experience in the area of content creation for video games. Core competencies include photo-realistic, stylized 2D and 3D content, concepts and illustrations, casual game graphics, and animation. Volmi has contributed to notable games such as Diablo 2: Resurrected, Metro Exodus, Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, Smite, Paladins, and Gwent: The Witcher Card Game.

Following the acquisition, Volmi will rebrand itself as “Volmi – A Virtuos Studio”. Loban and Baranenko will continue to helm the studio as General Director and Operations Director, respectively.
