Luminosity Gaming is anticipated to be taken over by the media and digital entertainment company Vertiqal Studios, which follows the esports enterprise’s parting of ways with Enthusiast Gaming.
The North American esports group stands as one of a pair of takeovers made by the digital media network. It is as well anticipated to take over the Enthusiast Gaming-owned YouTube platform Omnia.
In consequence of the takeover, Vertiqal Studios has grown its footprint spanning YouTube, Twitch, and many other online media destinations thanks to the scaling of flexible platform functionality, which works as an addition to its existing offerings on TikTok and Snapchat.
The takeover occurs subsequent to Enthusiast Gaming separating from Luminosity Gaming in the aftermath of its Chief Executive Officer sharing that the enterprise was not a component of the company’s blueprint regarding its Q2 2025 earnings.
With Luminosity Gaming now not included in the Enthusiast Gaming roster, the firm will redirect its core interest toward its different deliverables, including Icy Veins alongside online mobile gaming distributor Pocket Gamer.
“This acquisition signifies a considerable forward trajectory for Vertiqal, allowing us to measure with pre-existing patronage across the digital sales environment,” said Jon Dwyer, Chairman and CEO of Vertiqal.
“We’re not merely incorporating two powerful marks of identity; we are integrating platforms, audiences, and sales proficiencies that will redefine our product in the marketplace.”
Vertiqal Studios is poised to obtain Luminosity Gaming and Omnia for C$900,000 (~£480,487) with the agreement scheduled to come to a close on September 5th, 2025.
