ZATTIKKA PLC

('Zattikka' or the 'Company')

Launch of Spellgun Studios

Zattikka, the digital games entertainment group, is pleased to announce the creation of Spellgun Studios ('Spellgun'), a new mobile-oriented game studio focusing on titles for both the iOS and Android platforms. Spellgun will be led by James Zhang, founder of Concept Art House ("CAH"), and formerly of LucasArts, alongside two industry veterans with over 40 years of experience between them. The creation of Spellgun, under the broader Zattikka umbrella, provides greater identity and focus for the Company. Spellgun's strategy will be to leverage CAH's high calibre art resources, Zattikka's core analytics engine, and a unique geographic position to build games for an ever-increasing mobile game player base in both the East and West.

Spellgun is split into two distinct divisions: Spellgun East which is headquartered in Shanghai with a clear strategic focus on the casual mobile games market and Spellgun West, based in San Francisco focusing on marquee premier titles. Both studios are currently pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy aimed at doubling output within 12 months.

Spellgun Studios' slate of games in 2012 include:

   --     Maze Ninja - Out now in Appstore:

   --     Puzzle Punch - Currently live in Canada iOSAppstore and worldwide in December

-- Legacy of a Thousand Suns - Mobile conversion of Facebook and web game due for release later this year: http://www.legacyofathousandsuns.com/game/

Mark Opzoomer, Chief Executive Officer of Zattikka commented:

"We are delighted to announce the creation of Spellgun Studios under James Zhang's leadership, which is an important building block in developing our studio operations in San Francisco and Shanghai. By creating separate centres of excellence for both work for hire and dedicated game development, we believe that each unit can apply more focus on accelerating their growth plans. This will also support a medium term strategic goal of expanding offerings across mobile and tablet games platforms."
