Skillful Craftsman Buys 70% of Singapore Game Publisher URAY
EDTK sits 26% above its 52-week low of $0.8.
Summary
EDTK signed a definitive agreement on October 10 to acquire a 70% controlling stake in URAY, a Singapore-based casual game developer and publisher. The deal, expected to close in Q4 2026, will make URAY a consolidated subsidiary. URAY brings over a decade of game development experience, more than 1,000 released games, and a cumulative player base exceeding one billion. The acquisition extends EDTK's AI capabilities beyond education into game creation and global publishing, leveraging URAY's SMILE AI toolset for generative content and automation. This follows EDTK's August 20-F disclosure of an $8.5 million net loss and auditor resignation, making this diversification into a revenue-generating gaming business a notable strategic shift. The transaction terms were not disclosed, but the controlling stake and consolidation suggest a material expansion of EDTK's business scope. EDTK will issue 500,000 restricted shares to the seller and provide up to $2 million in unsecured loans at 7% interest, with a 2.5 million share earn-out pool for URAY management.
