Hungrybear and Yggdrasil launch Egyptian-themed slot Legacy of Anubis
Hungrybear has released Legacy of Anubis through Yggdrasil's YGG Masters programme, a dark-toned Egyptian slot offering a maximum win of 5,000x stake.
Game studio Hungrybear has launched Legacy of Anubis, a new online slot released via Yggdrasil’s YGG Masters partnership programme, Yggdrasil announced on 11th December 2024.
The title takes players into a tomb-themed setting with a darker take on the well-worn Egyptian slot genre, built around expanding symbols and scatter mechanics. In the base game, a randomly selected symbol can expand to create additional winning paylines, while book scatter symbols convert into Chosen symbols that also expand when they contribute to a win.
Landing three, four or five scatters triggers a free spins round, which players can also buy outright for 100 times their initial stake. The bonus round starts with ten spins, with a further ten awarded if three more scatters appear during play. Expanding symbols remain active throughout the feature.
Max win and technology
Legacy of Anubis carries a maximum win potential of 5,000x the stake. It follows earlier Hungrybear titles released under the YGG Masters scheme, including Merlin’s Beard, Riches of Olympus and Mystic Magic.
The game runs on Yggdrasil’s GATI technology, a standardised, regulation-ready development toolkit designed to help studio partners build and distribute new titles more quickly.

Joe Chamberlain, Product Lead at Hungrybear, said the studio aimed to build atmosphere and suspense into the game alongside the potential for large wins, adding that the combination of expanding symbols and scatters was designed to build anticipation during play.
