History

ZeptoLab was founded in 2008 by twins Efim and Semyon Voinov, who have been making games since the age of ten.^[3] Its name originates from “Zepto”, a math prefix meaning 10⁻²¹, to “signify how truly boutique their operation was.”^[4]

ZeptoLab has not received any external funding to produce their games.^[5] It owns a game studio subsidiary in the UK and started a publishing division in 2017.^[6] The company’s headquarters was relocated from Moscow to Barcelona in 2017.^[7]

In January 2025, Nazara Technologies acquired the intellectual property of CATS: Crash Arena and King of Thieves for Rs 660,000,000.^[8] The games will be published under Nazara Publishing.^[8]
