Modern Times Group (MTG) has unveiled a new divisional structure, a series of leadership changes, and the agenda for its upcoming Capital Markets Day (CMD) on 9 October 2025 in Stockholm.

MTG will reorganize its studios into two commercial divisions under its “Gaming Village” concept:

  • Midcore District – comprising Plarium (including Finnish studio Futureplay), InnoGames, Snowprint, Hutch, and Ninja Kiwi.

  • Casual District – led by PlaySimple, with plans to expand by acquiring or integrating new teams.

Leadership Changes in the Midcore District

  • Oliver Bulloss, currently MTG’s Chief Product Officer, has been appointed CEO of the Midcore District.

  • Hendrik Klindworth, co-founder and CEO of InnoGames, will become Executive Chairman of the Midcore District.

  • Andy Watson steps in as CEO of Hutch.

  • Schraga Mor, CEO of Plarium since 2023, will leave the company.

Leadership Changes in the Casual District

  • Yoav Ecker became CEO of PlaySimple in August 2025.

  • Siddharth Jain, PlaySimple’s co-founder, has moved into the role of Chairman of the Board.

  • Co-founders Siddhanth Jain, Preeti Reddy, and Suraj Nalin have stepped down following a transition period.

Capital Markets Day 2025: Focus Areas

The CMD will feature presentations and panels around three themes:

  • Market leadership – MTG’s positioning in the global mobile gaming market.

  • Transformation – details of the new operating model and strategic growth drivers.

  • Growth – financial performance, capital allocation, and long-term outlook.

Spotlight sessions will also cover RAID: Shadow Legends, AI applications in game development, and upcoming titles.

“When we became a mobile-first pure-play group in 2022, we had a clear vision to become one of the leading mobile gaming groups in the world. The acquisition of Plarium enabled us to take a major leap forward. We continue to have high ambitions, and I look forward to sharing our future vision and strategy at Capital Markets Day.”
