Massive international hits such as Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, niche mobile apps and up-and-coming indie games – MoGi Group deals with them all. From its office in Park West, the company specialises in video game localisation and compliance, as well as community management, voice overs, and player support for some of the biggest hitters in the gaming world.

In terms of revenue, the video games industry is now five times larger than the music industry, and 1.5 times larger than the film industry, so the drive to create innovative, new digital universes for avid gamers has lead to unprecedented levels of demand around the globe. With new markets comes a greater need for quality language and support solutions. That’s where MoGi Group steps in.

Want someone who understands cultural sensitivities around violence in your target market? Not a problem. Need a voice-over for your game that’s going to wow the Japanese market? Done. MoGi prides itself on anticipating the varied and sometimes surprising requirements of its customers and delivering. Every time.

Convenience and growth

After a decade of operations in mainland Europe (the company has offices all over the EU, including Belgium, Greece, Germany and the UK), MoGi Group opened the doors to its Irish headquarters in Park West in 2015. It quickly embraced its new home and since then has grown alongside one of Europe’s fastest-growing industries.

The group’s Dublin office is a buzzing hub for this constantly growing, vibrant young company. Here, you’ll find hard-working individuals in localisation, compliance, player support and community management teams working on projects from some of the most exciting games developers out there, including Konami, Telltale, TripWire and Wargaming, to name but a few.

“Right from day one, Park West has felt like a real home for us,” says MoGi Group CEO, Orad Elkayam. “From a technology perspective, Dublin holds a key position within the European Union and I think Park West in many ways is living proof of that. For us, with many of our clients based in all corners of the globe, having a location so convenient to Dublin Airport is essential, not to mention all the other amenities Park West has to offer.”

2018 looks set to be another exciting year at MoGi Group’s Irish base with plans for continued growth as it begins another twelve months of helping bring exciting gaming projects old and new from some of the best-known developers to the world.
