    About the Project

    eGames Lab is a landmark project with a total investment of €45M, co-funded by the National PRR, aimed at boosting and consolidating Portugal's video game development ecosystem.

    Running from October 2022 to June 2026, it is the largest R&D project in the gaming sector in Portugal and Europe.

    Led by WOW, the consortium brings together 22 partners, including 14 companies, R&D centres and public & private entities.

    The project's strong R&D component led to the creation of the OneWayEleven game studio, dedicated to developing original titles with Unreal Engine 5 for PC and consoles.

    From the studio came titles such as Hanno: A Magical Tale - selected for the prestigious GDC Pitch at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco - and The Kause.
