LiveOps Support That Helped School of Dragons Climb to 30M+ Players and a Top-10 Game Ranking
School of Dragons is a mobile MMORPG based on DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon universe, built around dragon training, exploration, quests, and long-term player progression. Juego Studios supported the title’s LiveOps during its growth phase, helping maintain the update rhythm and player-facing activity behind a game that reached 30M+ registered players and Top-20 free app / Top-10 free game rankings on mobile.
Project Context
School of Dragons was not a one-and-done mobile release. As a franchise-based MMORPG, it needed a steady operating rhythm after launch: new reasons for players to return, updates that respected the How to Train Your Dragon world, and production support that could keep live content moving without affecting the existing experience. For the client, the challenge was maintaining engagement at scale while protecting stability, franchise consistency, and update predictability.
Key requirements included:
- Maintain a regular live-content cadence
- Support player-facing events and rewards
- Keep updates aligned with franchise expectations
- Reduce disruption risk during live rollouts
- Support retention for a large mobile RPG audience
Our Contribution & Execution
Juego Studios supported the LiveOps pipeline across three core areas:
Our contributions included:
- Content continuity: Supported recurring update cycles so the game could continue offering fresh player-facing activity after launch.
- Event and reward support: Assisted with event-driven engagement and reward cycles designed to give players reasons to return across live periods.
- Live production coordination: Supported update readiness, QA coordination, rollout planning, and franchise-aligned production checks to keep live releases consistent.
Execution approach
- Worked within the existing game structure to avoid disrupting the live experience
- Coordinated updates around the franchise calendar and DreamWorks IP requirements
- Maintained a consistent release cadence to sustain player return behavior
- Prioritized engagement continuity over individual update volume
