LONDON and MEXICO CITY, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hightekers, a global provider of Employer of Record (EOR), payroll, freelancer, and contractor management solutions, today announced the acquisition of Serviap Global, a leading LATAM-based EOR and contractor management services provider. The acquisition marks a major milestone in the Hightekers Group's ongoing global expansion.
Following the acquisition of Asia-focused Eos Global Expansion in April, the addition of Serviap Global extends Hightekers' direct operational footprint to 40 countries, with a further 100+ served through its certified partner network. As demand for flexible global hiring and employment continues to accelerate, the combined group will deliver truly local expertise at a rare scale across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the US, and now Latin America. With the addition of Serviap, Hightekers' teams now collectively support over 3,500 workers worldwide.
Making flexible work simple and rewarding worldwide
"This acquisition reflects our ambition to build the most agile global platform for the Future of Work," said Roger Oudiz, Chairman of Hightekers. "By welcoming Serviap Global, we secure a strong LATAM presence and continue our strategy of offering clients a seamless, fully compliant, and premium service experience wherever they hire talent. Together, we now combine deep local expertise with global reach — a capability that very few players in the market can deliver."
United by a human centric approach
"We're thrilled to join forces with Hightekers, whose rapid growth and regional expertise drive greater value for our clients and partners," said Victor Anaya, Co-Founder and CEO of Serviap Global. "In our industry, a strong technology platform is essential, but every client and contract has unique needs. Like Hightekers, we pride ourselves on understanding those needs through close, personal relationships, and we're excited to bring this same level of tailored service to our customers worldwide."
One global platform and brand by 2026
With the acquired companies' CEOs now on the Hightekers board and contributing up to 20 years of local market expertise, the group has begun executing a full integration roadmap, which includes:
- A unified global brand by 2026.
- A single technology platform supporting client onboarding, workforce management, and compliance across all countries.
- A consolidated global service offering covering EOR, contractor management, umbrella and freelance solutions, payroll, and global compliance.
- Enhanced self-service tools for clients and workers, enabling faster deployment and greater operational accuracy.

The First Time a Game in the Legendary Franchise Comes to Consoles
BELLEVUE, Wash., June 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Critically-acclaimed game development studio ArenaNet® tonight announced Guild Wars 3™, the third entry in the legendary and beloved Guild Wars® MMORPG franchise and their first new game since 2012. The game will release globally on PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5, marking the first time a Guild Wars game will appear on home consoles. The first beta test is scheduled for fall of 2027.
The official debut trailer features the first in-engine gameplay footage and can be viewed HERE. The first concept art and other assets are hosted at the Guild Wars 3 official press kit.
"Guild Wars 3 is a new era not just for ArenaNet and Guild Wars, but also for MMORPGs as a whole," said Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 3 Game Director and ArenaNet Studio Head. "The MMORPG genre has millions of players worldwide eager for new, modern experiences, and the opportunity to harness that excitement is immense. Our approach with Guild Wars 3 is to push MMORPGs forward, to create an online game world that feels believable, rewarding, responsive, and innovative while at the same time respecting players' time and providing a positive, supportive space to build community and enjoy new stories in our universe."
Taking place over a thousand years before the events of the original game, Guild Wars 3 is set in the Tyrian region of Orr, a vast wilderness frontier imbued with the world's magic. Nature entities with strong connections to the land called Vael spirits embody the vitality of this lush, verdant landscape. Various guilds are engaged in conflict over how to protect or exploit the bounty beyond civilization's borders. These multitudinous spirits will vary in size and influence within the ecosystems around them, with the most notable of these being the Seeker. As seen in the trailer, every player's Seeker will serve as a connection to the spirits of Orr and a mount that will carry them on their journeys through the game's open world.
Players will assume the role of a Vaelwarden, a member of a guild of adventurers committed to preserving and protecting both the spirits of the wild and the land of Orr itself. Through the deep character customization and skill-building gameplay the Guild Wars franchise is known for, players will seek adventure and confront danger across this sumptuous, vibrant online world, growing their relationships with the spirits of the wild, the inhabitants of Orr, and other Vaelwarden players.
A combat system designed from the outset to feel great on both a controller and keyboard rewards positioning by emphasizing the joy of movement and momentum. As players seamlessly transition between various movement modes, they can harness their speed and turn it into bigger damage and impact when fighting their foes.
More information about pricing, beta tests, release date, and gameplay features will be revealed later in 2026 and into 2027. Guild Wars 3 will be available directly from the developers at GuildWars3.com, and can be wishlisted on Steam and the PlayStation Store beginning today, with more information available at the game's official website.
