History
ZeptoLab was founded in 2010[3] by twins Efim and Semyon Voinov, who have been making games since the age of ten.[4] Its name originates from “Zepto”, a math prefix meaning 10−21, to “signify how truly boutique their operation was.”[3]
In 2011, ZeptoLab UK Limited was incorporated in London.[5] The company has not received any external funding to produce their games.[6] A publishing division was started in 2017.[7] ZeptoLab started a new game development subsidiary in Barcelona in 2015.[8][9][10]
In January 2025, Nazara Technologies acquired the intellectual property of CATS: Crash Arena Turbo Stars and King of Thieves for Rs 660,000,000.[11] The games will be published under Nazara Publishing.[11]
