Growtopia is a 2D creative sandbox platformer MMO game originally developed by Seth Robinson of Robinson Technologies alongside Mike Hommel of Hamumu Clubhouse. However, in February of 2017, game developing company Ubisoft bought the rights to the franchise.
Seth Robinson first conceived of Growtopia on 8 September 2012[1] and asked fellow independent game developer Mike Hommel to join in the project shortly thereafter.[1] Growtopia was officially released on 9 January 2013.[1] Since then, the game has been the most successful game Robinson and Hommel have ever made.[citation needed]
On 28 February 2017, Growtopia was acquired by Ubisoft.[4][5] With its new headquarters in Ubisoft Abu Dhabi, a new team has since been working on the game.
