The expansion is a key part of Virtuos’ growth strategy, as it increases its global footprint to better meet the growing demands of its clients.

 

Volmi was co-founded by Vladimir Loban, Chief Executive Officer, and Miroslav Baranenko, Chief Operating Officer, in 2016.

Core competencies include photo-realistic, stylized 2D and 3D content, concepts and illustrations, casual game graphics, and animation. Volmi has contributed to notable games such as Diablo 2: Resurrected, Metro Exodus, Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, Smite, Paladins, and Gwent: The Witcher Card Game.

 

Following the acquisition, Volmi will rebrand itself as “Volmi – A Virtuos Studio”. Loban and Baranenko will continue to helm the studio as General Director and Operations Director, respectively.

Virtuos’ expansion into Kyiv marks the company’s first foray into Eastern Europe, tapping into Ukraine’s growing pool of tech talent. The new studio will function as a key node in Virtuos’ expanding global footprint and bringing the company closer to its European clients, while bolstering its game development and art production offerings.
