Innogames

InnoGames is one of Germany's leading developers and publishers of free-to-play mobile and browser games, founded in 2007 in Stade by brothers Hendrik and Eike Klindworth and their friend Michael Zillmer, who dropped out of their studies to pursue game development.

Its game portfolio includes Forge of Empires, Grepolis, Tribal Wars, Tribal Wars 2, Elvenar, Rise of Cultures, Sunrise Village, The West, Heroes of History, and Cozy Coast — spanning strategy, RPG, city-building, and casual genres across both mobile and browser platforms with seamless cross-platform play.
