History

Founded in 2000 as an online gaming magazine, gamigo AG published its first online game in 2001. Its first game, "Die 4. Offenbarung", was the first MMOG to be localized for the German market.

In 2008 Axel Springer AG acquired shares previously owned by bmp AG. In 2009 gamigo effectively became a wholly owned subsidiary of Axel Springer.

In 2010, gamigo launched its first self-produced MMOG, Cultures Online, and announced that it had acquired all rights to Reakktor's Black Prophecy.

In an effort to expand its market to North America, in 2010 gamigo founded gamigo Inc., which is based in New York City.

In 2012 Axel Springer sold Gamigo to Samarion S.E.
