Realtime World has been awarded a Hottest Prospect merit at this year's Tech Media Invest awards after impressing judges with its innovative technology and enthusiastic staff.
The Dundee-based studio beat off competition from Adjug, Comufy, Huddle and Slicethepie and was handed the award at a ceremony held the Emirates stadium.
Judge and director of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Brian Henderson commented of the achievement: "Realtime Worlds impressed with the innovative technology behind their games, the quality and vision of their management team and the sheer energy and enthusiasm of their wider employees.
“Videogaming is a fast growing USD 42 billion worldwide industry which spans many platforms. The structural shift to digital makes this industry even more exciting and filled with opportunity for great companies such as RTW."

We are thrilled that the judges appreciated the potential for the company and our people and share our corporate vision, ambition and our enthusiasm for APB," added Realtime Worlds CEO Gary Dale.
