Challenge
Expanding a new gaming IP internationally requires different partners for different parts of the growth strategy.
Mixed Realms needed access to publishing partners capable of supporting regional expansion, distribution opportunities beyond digital storefronts, and technical partners able to bring 13Z to additional platforms.
The challenge was to identify credible partners across these areas while keeping each opportunity aligned with the broader direction of the IP.
Approach
ICV supported Mixed Realms through targeted business development and strategic partner sourcing.
Our work included securing a porting agreement worth approximately $200,000 and developing additional opportunities across:
Asian publishing
Middle East publishing
Physical publishing and distribution
VR porting
ICV introduced relevant counterparties and helped bring these opportunities into active commercial discussions, giving Mixed Realms a broader set of options for expanding the title across regions, formats, and platforms.

Impact
The engagement resulted in a $6 figure porting deal and created a wider pipeline of strategic opportunities around the title.
Beyond the completed transaction, ICV helped place regional publishing, physical publishing, and VR porting opportunities on the table, expanding the number of potential routes available for 13Z’s international and multi-platform growth.
