Founded in 2015, the game studio has reached the worldwide top 5 with its server, TheArchon. Alongside creations within the Minecraft and Roblox space, Voldex also look to build games from the ground up.
The company has grown to acquire an impressive 145 million monthly active users, acquired titles such as Roblox's Brookhaven and created games like Base Battles and Penguin Tycoon.
