Our take
Lightforge Games is an all-remote video game studio dedicated to producing innovative, shared storytelling and social gameplay in role-playing games. The team is currently working on a cross-platform social video game where players are able to create worlds and tell whatever story they want.
Despite being an overcrowded market, it is impossible to ignore the founding team’s experience at top studios – Blizzard and Epic – with Lightforge’s CEO spending five years leading a team to build Fortnite, the world’s most-played game.
This experience and knowledge of what works with consumers, partnered with a trust in Lighforge, marked by the overwhelming investments, positions the company to create quality content that is greatly anticipated by game-players.
