Ubisoft London (formerly known as Future Games of London or FGOL) was a game development team and Ubisoft studio responsible for the creation of the Hungry Shark series, as well as other popular titles such as Grabatron. They primarily created games for mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, which appeal to a large audience.
On September 14, 2023, it was announced that the studio would be closed by Ubisoft, impacting 54 positions.[1] Following this announcement, all remaining development and management of the Hungry Shark series will be transferred to Ubisoft Barcelona Mobile.

Trivia[]
- FGOL seems to have a black sense of humor as many phrases revolve around the misfortune of characters in their games such as Humans in Hungry Shark Evolution, as when they are eaten, some phrases such as "Scuba Snack!" appear.
- Oddly, Hungry Shark World is made by FGOL, but the publisher is Ubisoft. This may be because FGOL is a Ubisoft studio, and World was made after FGOL was acquired by Ubisoft. However, every other Hungry Shark game before it was published by FGOL.
- In 2010, when Hungry Shark: Part 1 was first released, FGOL was only comprised of 7 employees.
- The old logo is usually shown as a set of four squares shown side by side, but it is occasionally shown as one large square divided into four squares.
- FGOL's logo has changed over the years until it became Ubisoft London.
- When it was renamed Ubisoft London in 2023, its YouTube channel, Facebook, and Twitter account were renamed "Hungry Shark".
