Munich/ London — Norton Rose Fulbrighthas advi­sed the foun­ding share­hol­ders of Munich-based multi­player tech­no­logy startup zeuz on the sale of their company to Impro­ba­ble Worlds Limited.

The Bava­rian startup was foun­ded in 2017 by Manuel Karg, Markus Schnei­der, Sebas­tian Reck­zeh and Roberto Omez­zolli and curr­ently employs 30 people. zeuz’s contai­­ner-based approach to hosting and server orchestra­tion provi­des game deve­lo­pers with cost-effec­­tive and effi­ci­ent solu­ti­ons, as well as flexi­bi­lity and scala­bi­lity without back-end issues. As part of Impro­ba­ble, zeuz will expand its cost-effec­­tive hybrid cloud infra­struc­ture to address new markets and inte­grate its offe­ring with Improbable’s networ­king, co-deve­­lo­p­­ment and game deve­lo­p­ment businesses.
