Abu Dhabi, April 30, 2024: Nigma Galaxy has officially launched “Nigma Galaxy Experience” their groundbreaking new esports experience hub at Yas Mall, which is set to revolutionise the gaming landscape in the UAE. The highly anticipated venue officially opened its doors at the end of Q1 2024, becoming the epicentre for esports enthusiasts in Abu Dhabi and beyond.

The cutting-edge facility was developed alongside Aldar, the owner and operator of Yas Mall, and the official real estate, shopping mall, and education partner of Nigma Galaxy.

Throughout the year, Nigma Galaxy will host a multitude of events, cementing its status as the new go-to destination for gamers and esports aficionados in the UAE.

At the core of this groundbreaking initiative is the commitment to provide an all-encompassing esports experience and development of talent and growth in the UAE and MENA region. The MENA E-Gaming market was valued at USD 5,670.9 Million in 2022 and is expected to grow around 21.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030) according to UnivDatos. The region's rapid growth in the esports industry was driven by several factors, including the increasing availability and affordability of high-speed internet and mobile devices. This made it easier for people in the region to access and play games online, contributing to the development of a vibrant gaming culture with a rising number of gaming events and competitions.

“Nigma Galaxy Experience” is more than just a gaming arena; it is a hub for nurturing talent.
