Ankama
Ankama is a French entertainment company headquartered in Roubaix, France. It is primarily known for its massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), animated series, and board games. Founded in 2001 by Camille Chafer, Anthony Roux, and Emmanuel Darras, Ankama started as a web design agency before transitioning into the entertainment industry.
The company's most successful and widely recognized creation is Dofus, a tactical turn-based MMORPG released in 2004. Following the success of Dofus, Ankama developed Wakfu, another MMORPG set in the same universe but taking place centuries later. Both Dofus and Wakfu have spawned animated series adaptations, expanding the lore and reaching a wider audience.
Beyond MMORPGs and animation, Ankama has diversified its portfolio to include trading card games, board games, and publishing. This multifaceted approach allows the company to engage with its fan base through various mediums. Their artistic style, characterized by vibrant colors and distinct character designs, is a notable element of their brand identity. Ankama continues to develop new projects and expand its presence in the entertainment industry.
