Ubisoft's "hungry shark" games have been downloaded more than 1 billion times worldwide.

CTOnews.com, Nov. 27 (Xinhua)-- the series of hungry sharks under Yubi has announced that it has been downloaded more than 1 billion times worldwide, making it the most downloaded mobile game series.

The series of hungry sharks, developed by Ubisoft Future Games, tells the story of sharks crazily foraging in the world's oceans. The first hungry shark game was released in 2010 and was developed by a team of seven.

CTOnews.com learned that players need to control sharks, including mackerel sharks, great white sharks, hammerhead sharks, reef sharks, giant mouth sharks, giant tooth sharks and other unique species of sharks. Players must eat other sea creatures in order for sharks to grow until they evolve. After that, players can buy the next more powerful shark.

In May 2016, the fifth book in the series, "hungry Shark: the World," broke through the download rate of 10 million times in six days, making it into the top 10 of iPhone and Android free apps. Hungry Shark: the World was released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch platforms in 2018. In 2018, Hungry Shark was nominated for Best Leisure Game (Best Casual Game) in the Independent Game Development Association.

Ian Harper, managing director of Ubisoft Future Games London, said: "We are very proud to have reached this incredible milestone and I would like to thank the relevant teams for their hard work. We look forward to making some announcements about the future direction of the studio in early 2023 and sharing more information about hungry sharks."
