Nigma Galaxy, announced a multi-year partnership with Aldar, in Abu Dhabi, to enhance the UAE’s passionate gaming and esports communities through talent development and community engagement.
Tapping into its own mission to create engaged communities across Abu Dhabi, Aldar will work with Nigma Galaxy to explore the inclusion of gaming spaces within its upcoming residential communities, while also developing a Nigma Galaxy esports training facility for players.
At the facility, Nigma Galaxy will provide a range of training programmes and internship opportunities to develop the next generation of gaming and esports talent. The opportunities will span the entirety of gaming and esports, from nurturing up-and-coming competitive gamers to providing insight on how to run a business within the gaming industry. Additionally, Nigma Galaxy will help to establish a series of after-school esports workshops at Aldar Education schools across the UAE.
Aldar will enable Nigma Galaxy to access its full real estate portfolio, including spaces to host esports competitions and player training facilities in Yas Mall and Saadiyat Grove once the development is complete. Aldar will also provide accommodation options for Nigma Galaxy players, while Aldar’s logo will also be featured across all Nigma Galaxy jerseys.
Finally, Nigma Galaxy has produced a unique in-game activation within Minecraft, bringing Aldar’s flagship Saadiyat Grove development to life in the game. Players will be able to design their own properties using a bespoke ‘block library’ aligned to the design philosophy and materials used in real life. They will also compete to design esports experiences, such as parkour courses, inside the Minecraft version of Aldar assets.
This is the latest partnership that Nigma Galaxy has established with a leading Abu Dhabi entity. In 2020 Nigma Galaxy signed an agreement with Etihad Airways to offer players a premium experience when they travel to ensure they arrive relaxed and energised ahead of a tournament.
