At White Hat Studios, franchises are a core pillar of our content strategy, and in 2026 we’re accelerating that approach with the continued expansion of Kong, one of our strongest-performing game franchises.
Headline of the Kong Family will be a soccer-themed title launching ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America, giving U.S. operators a timely opportunity to tap into one of the world’s most watched sporting events.
The franchise is already delivering standout results. Kong 3 Even Bigger Bonus ranked among the top new U.S. slots in the December report from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC, reinforcing Kong’s position as a franchise built for scale and longevity.
Armen Tatarevic, VP Gaming at White Hat Studios, said:
“Franchises remain a core pillar of the White Hat Studios content strategy, allowing us to build on popular themes and features to deliver sustained player engagement for our partners. We’ve only scratched the surface of what the Kong game family can achieve in the U.S., and our focus now is on meaningful expansion that aligns with player demand.”
Together with the award-winning 7s Fire Blitz™, Kong plays a central role in our Amplify Franchises strategy — turning hit games into enduring, high-performance game families for the U.S. market.
