Hollara Corporation Announces Acquisition of Arelvik, Expanding Its Global Game Development Organization
Arelvik will become a founding studio within Hollara Corporation's newly established game development subsidiary, continuing to operate independently under its existing name, brand, and creative direction.
Today, Hollara Corporation announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Arelvik, an independent Roblox game development studio known for its innovative approach to creating engaging player experiences, community-driven development, and commitment to pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
The acquisition represents a significant milestone in Hollara Corporation's long-term vision to build a world-class game development organization focused on empowering creative teams, investing in ambitious ideas, and delivering experiences that connect millions of players around the world.
Following the completion of the acquisition, Arelvik will become one of the founding studios within Hollara Corporation's newly established game development subsidiary. Arelvik will continue operating independently under its existing name, brand, leadership, and creative direction, while gaining access to Hollara's expanded resources, operational capabilities, technology investments, and strategic support.
The partnership brings together two organizations with a shared belief that the future of gaming will be defined by creativity, community, and the ability for talented teams to build experiences that inspire players worldwide.
Building the Future of Interactive Entertainment: The creation of Hollara's game development subsidiary represents a major investment into the future of game development. The subsidiary is designed to support a portfolio of independent studios, providing teams with the resources, infrastructure, and expertise needed to scale their ideas while preserving the creative independence that makes each studio unique.
Rather than replacing the identities of acquired studios, Hollara's approach is focused on strengthening them. Each studio will continue operating with its own culture, creative vision, and connection to its community while benefiting from the collaboration and support of a larger organization.
Arelvik's addition marks the beginning of this strategy, bringing an experienced and passionate development team into Hollara's growing ecosystem.
Empowering Arelvik's Next Chapter: Since its founding, Arelvik has focused on creating experiences that bring players together through creativity, exploration, and community. The studio has developed a reputation for its player-first approach and its ability to transform ideas into engaging digital experiences.
As part of Hollara Corporation, Arelvik will continue pursuing its existing mission while gaining new opportunities to expand its development capabilities, collaborate with additional teams, and explore larger-scale projects. Arelvik's leadership team will continue guiding the studio's creative direction and operations, ensuring that the identity and values that built the company remain at the center of its future.
A Shared Vision for Growth: The acquisition reflects Hollara Corporation's broader commitment to investing in creators, developers, and the future of digital entertainment. As gaming continues to evolve into a more connected and community-driven medium, Hollara believes that supporting talented studios will be essential to building the next generation of interactive experiences.
Through its game development subsidiary, Hollara plans to continue identifying and partnering with teams that share its vision for innovation, creativity, and player-focused development. The addition of Arelvik strengthens Hollara's growing presence within the Roblox ecosystem and establishes a foundation for future expansion across game development, publishing, partnerships, and emerging technologies.
Continued Commitment to Players and Communities: Following the acquisition, Arelvik will continue operating as usual. Existing games, projects, partnerships, and community initiatives will remain active, with future developments continuing under the Arelvik brand.
Players can expect the same commitment to quality and creativity that has defined Arelvik while benefiting from the opportunities created through its partnership with Hollara Corporation. The acquisition is effective immediately, with integration efforts beginning across both organizations. Additional announcements regarding future projects, collaborations, and initiatives will be shared in the coming months. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
