Bublar Group acquires 3D moviemaking platform and enters into agreement with global avatar networking app

Plotagon runs a proven platform and app that allows anyone to create and share their own 3D animated movies with a few taps on their phone or pc. ZEPETO is a social network app where users can create avatar content, play games and socialize with other users virtually. ZEPETO has over 180 million registered users on the platform. Based on Plotagon's technology, the parties have agreed to develop a service using ZEPETO’s content and avatars. Commercial launch will take place in 2021.

"We are making an exciting acquisition where Plotagon's proven technology has the opportunity to meet the diverse, international user groups of ZEPETO. We look forward working with Plotagon and the innovative team. With our expertise in virtual- and augmented reality, 3D animation and mobile games we will be able to contribute to this collaboration, says Magnus Granqvist, co-founder of Bublar and Managing Director for its game division.

ZEPETO has close collaborations in the k-pop genre, the popular Korean music industry. In September, the world´s first virtual fan-sign event was launched, with the k-pop band Blackpink and American artist Selena Gomez creating an animated dance video based on 3D avatars via ZEPETO. The video already has close to 80 million views on YouTube.

Filip Grufman, CEO of Plotagon Production continues: "We are very excited to be part of the global growth in user-generated content. We are convinced that our team and technology can be used for several of Bublar's customers and collaboration portfolio of strong global brands".
