Fury of Anubis and Pragmatic Play’s Biggest Year: 2026 in Review. Fury of Anubis headlines a packed Pragmatic Play summer. Here’s the 2026 release slate, the live casino expansion, and the strategy behind it all.On 25 June, Pragmatic Play released Fury of Anubis, the slot the studio has been building towards. Set in the realm of the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife, it is a high-volatility game made for players who like a feature-rich experience and a slow build to a big bonus moment. Egyptian themes are a long-standing player favourite, and Pragmatic’s bet is that the right atmosphere and a distinctive feature set can lift the category beyond the familiar. It launches through the single-API integration, distributed to operators across all major regulated markets.
Typically, Pragmatic Play releases one Tier 1 or “mega” slot per quarter. In January’s, Jelly Express, a candy-land slot reaching 5,000x was released. In April Zeus crossed over to Live Casino with Gates of Olympus Roulette. This month’s release (June 2026) belongs to Anubis.
What else is in Pragmatic Play’s summer slate?
Fury of Anubis headlines one of the busiest summer slates the provider has assembled. On 25 May it released Big Bass Football Bonanza, the latest in the bestselling Big Bass series, themed around the World Cup and timed for when football is the only thing anyone is watching. On 18 May it debuted Seotda Baccarat, a first-of-its-kind live title combining traditional baccarat with a Korean-inspired Seotda card mechanic, built for new and experienced players.Other recent slots include Mr. Null’s Wicked Wares (5 May), Sweet Bonanza 2500 (30 April) and Big Bass Trophy Catch (16 April). Each is a fresh variant on a flagship franchise, which is the pattern the catalogue is built on: take a game that works, find a new angle, and ship it. That strategy seems to be working very well for Pragmatic
Pragmatic Play’s Director of Public Relations, Sharon McHugh said of the new release: “Ancient Egypt continues to captivate players around the world, and Fury of Anubis brings a fresh perspective through its escalating multiplier mechanic and engaging free spins feature.
“With tumbling wins, a multiplier that can soar to 1,024x and the chance to enhance bonus game rewards before play begins, Fury of Anubis delivers a thrilling experience packed with excitement from start to finish.”
Why is 2026 Pragmatic Play’s biggest year?
For a studio that launched in 2015 around mobile slots, the breadth of 2026 says a lot about its direction. Pragmatic Play is headquartered in Gibraltar and privately owned by investors led by Veridian (Gibraltar) Limited, with co-founder Julian Jarvis as CEO from the start. Jarvis worked at AOL Europe through the AOL Time Warner merger and was recruited in 2004 by the founders of what became PartyGaming, bringing a regulated-markets mindset in from day one.That mindset shaped everything: high-quality mobile slots distributed through regulated markets, while many 2015-era rivals chased quicker revenue through lighter-touch territories. Pragmatic pushed for licensing in the UK first, then Malta, Italy, Sweden, Romania, and later Ontario and Brazil. By 2017 and 2018 the catalogue had real hits, with Big Bass emerging as a phenomenon and Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus following soon after.
