Sport franchises must own their own digital future. We build the game experiences and platforms that make that possible.
Who we are
Zorro Studios is an Australian games studio formed by the founding team behind GoGallop Studios — creators of FEI Equestriad World Tour, a globally licensed equestrian mobile game that reached millions of downloads.
We have taken everything learned from that venture — the licensing model, the sponsorship integration, the fan engagement mechanics — and built a new vehicle designed to move faster and think bigger.
Our model is direct: partner with a sport that has an underserved digital audience, secure the IP relationship, and build a platform — not a single title — that compounds in value over time.
“The strategic question is no longer whether a sport should participate in gaming — but whether it should control the platform that defines its fan economy.”

Our approach
Secure an official licensing relationship with the governing body or league. Real venues, real athletes, real competition structures. Authenticity is the only thing that converts fans into players.
Rather than handing IP to a third-party publisher, we structure deals so the sport retains control. The platform becomes a compounding digital asset — not a one-off licensing fee.
In-game sponsorship mirrors the real world — digital signage, branded kit, leaderboards, product placement. Partners reach a live audience. The game stays free to play.
Fans become players. Players become competitors. Competitors become viewers. Viewers attract commercial partners. Each turn strengthens every other part of the ecosystem.
Mobile-first. Then PC and console. Then esports. The first title is proof of concept. The platform is designed to evolve — new modes, new seasons, new sports.
We structure partnerships with listed entities who bring governance, market access, and publishing scale — reducing execution risk while accelerating speed to market.
The platform
An authentically licensed mobile game — free to play, with deep sport integration and real-world event structures baked in from day one. A foundation fans recognise and trust immediately.
A structured competition ladder converting casual players into invested competitors — driving retention, media content, and community identity year-round.
The sport retains direct control of fan data and engagement channels — a strategic asset that builds long-term independence from third-party publishers.
Shared infrastructure enables rapid expansion across titles, codes, and platforms — compounding technology and brand equity with every release.
