Our take

Radical Forge is a gaming studio known for contributing to popular titles like Gang Beasts, Sea of Thieves, Golf With Your Friends and Zombie Army 4. The company also develops its own games, including its debut release, Bright Paw (2020), and its latest title, Southfield.

As larger companies in the gaming industry face downsizing, Radical Forge is well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity. With recent funding, the studio is set to expand its team and take on larger projects. This will help strengthen its capabilities and ensure it remains competitive in the ever-evolving gaming space.
