New Delhi: Now in Google Play Store and Apple App Store, users will see there are many application who teach various languages to the users, but if we discuss about the first application or the popular language application which is Duolingo, they have recently acquired Beatstar developer and the music gaming startup, NextBeat, in a bid to make its music course, as the fun and joyful as the best mobile games in the market.
In some sources, it came to know that the company stated that the acquisition of NextBeat’s team of 23, with expertise in game design, user retention, monetisation, sound design, and music licensing, will power the next chapter of Duolingo’s gamified learning experiences. It is also establishing the first official presence of Duolingo in the UK.
Learning should be just as engaging as playing a great game, whether users are practising a new language or playing a favourite song, as stated by Bob Meese, chief business officer at Duolingo. This is a strategic bet on talent. The NextBeat team brings deep mobile gaming and music industry expertise, which will make the users’ Music course and the entire Duolingo platform more delightful, immersive, and effective.
From day one, it was clear that Duolingo and NextBeat share the same values, putting learners first, obsessing over the great design, and never taking ourselves too seriously, said Simon Hade, CEO of NextBeat. Joining forces means the company can bring their passion for music and play to the platform that is redefining how people learn. Space Ape Games spun out the new studio NextBeat earlier this year. It’s thought the studio’s portfolio will include Space Ape IPs, Beatstar and Country Star.
