#PGCLondon Forest Interactive on paving the way for western studios to find success in South East Asia

Forest Interactive will aim to become the connecting bridge for Western game studios and publishers into the South East Asia mobile games market during the Pocket Gamer Connect London 2016.

Forest Interactive focuses on Free-2-Play (F2P) games, which implements In-Apps-Purchase (IAP), thus driving more revenue monetization from Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) rather than limiting the payment options of only through the credit card payments, while also providing DCB services and localization of mobile games for Western games publishers.

"In 2014, mobile games revenue in Southeast Asian has exceeded 1 billion USD and expects to exceed 7 billion in year 2019. It is a growing market that should not be overlooked, and we possess the key to it." said Johary Mustapha, CEO of Forest Interactive.

"We believe Forest Interactive would be the best publisher to understand the vast South East Asian market, due to our coverage of all major countries, which is why we are able to provide a 4-step." added Johary.

Heart of the matter

Forest Interactive is located and headquartered in the heart of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, and has established its presence across ASEAN countries via its office in Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore.
