History[edit]


The company was founded in 1996 as Nival Interactive, and became famous as the developer of several successful role-playing and strategy series, including Rage of Mages (known as Allods in Russia), Blitzkrieg and Etherlords. Nival also developed Heroes of Might and Magic V and two add-ons, published by Ubisoft.


Nival began to self-publish its own games in 2005. Nival finances and publishes external developers including KranX Productions, creators of King's Bounty: Legions and Bytex, developers of Berserk Online.


In early 2005, the part of Nival operating under the name Nival Interactive was bought by Ener1 Group, a Florida-based holdings company, for around US$10 million. On November 30, 2007, Sergey Orlovskiy regained full control of Nival Interactive.[1]


In early 2010, another part of Nival, Astrum Nival, was bought by the largest Russian portal Mail.Ru for more than $100 million, becoming a part of Astrum Online Entertainment. Currently Nival’s internal development studios are focused on PC and mobile projects.


In 2011, Nival Interactive was merged with Nival Network into a new company, called Nival. Nival has developed and launched Prime World, King's Bounty: Legions and has several projects in development.[2]


In December 2013, Nival raised $6 million in its Series A funding round led by Almaz Capital. The funds will be used for global expansion.[3]


In February 2017 Nival announced the world’s first Neural Network AI for RTS for its game Blitzkrieg 3.[4]
