Playdigious welcomes new CEO, Abrial Da Costa

Indie games publisher Playdigious is pleased to announce Abrial Da Costa’s nomination as the company’s new CEO.

After 8 years of steady growth and success, this event opens an exciting chapter for the company and its newly announced label, Playdigious Originals.

With a decade of project management and game development experience at Don’t Nod (Life is Strange, Tell me why), Abrial Da Costa will use his expertise overseeing the company’s operations and furthering Playdigious’ innovation and partnership activities with key players in the market.

"After almost nine years leading Don't Nod's business strategy and taking part in its IPO as well as three strategic capital rounds, I'm proud to be joining Fragbite Group. I was lucky enough to work with Romain and Xavier many years ago, and since the creation of Playdigious, I've admired the colossal amount of work done by them and their team. I am really looking forward to taking the Company to the next level and contribute to Fragbite Group's growth."

This nomination also marks the start of a transition within the company and its ecosystem. Xavier Liard, co-founder, will move forward as Senior Strategy advisor for Fragbite, Playdigious’ parent company. Romain Tisserand, co-founder and CTO, will in turn become Head of Playdigious’ new R&D department.

“It is with great pride that Romain and I hand over the reins to Abrial and usher in a new era for Playdigious. I have the past year spent more time advising on the Group level and this has led to my decision to take on this new challenge. On behalf of all of us – welcome Abrial to the Fragbite Group family! Exciting times ahead!”
