An AI-powered game studio building multiplayer games that are effortless to jump into, better together and rewarding for years.
Thorncell makes games for everyone, not only the hardcore. Worlds that welcome you in on day one and still surprise you years later.
Our games grow with their players. As your skills deepen, so does the content, with new ways to play and new goals always within reach.
Most of our titles are multiplayer, with co-op that is fun and effortless from the very first session. Invite a friend and you are playing in seconds.
We take pride in our multiplayer technology. It is engineered from the ground up so every match feels instant and every input lands exactly when it should.
Easy to learn, rewarding to master and suitable for players aged 8 and up. Atmosphere and wonder, never gore.
AI sits at the core of how we design, build and test. Combined with lean, agile processes, it lets us move from idea to playable in days, learn from every playtest and keep evolving our games long after launch.
Our ambition: to be the most agile game studio in the world.
A tactical sci-fi shooter. Raid robot-held space stations, merge loot up through the rarity tiers and extract with your haul. Build a raider that looks like you.
Low-latency multiplayer built from the ground up. Team up with friends and family and save Earth!

“Games used to be pure fun, and we almost always played them together. We want to bring that joy back to gaming, for everyone.”
I have been a gamer since I was three, back in the days of the early Macs and PCs. What stayed with me most is how much fun those games were, and how often we played them side by side.
For nearly two decades I have worked in growth companies, building the parts of technology that have to work every single time. I built a round-the-clock operations center from zero, ran support teams across four countries, managed telecom and cloud infrastructure, and today lead IT, security and AI adoption for a 900+ employee group.
Thorncell is where those two sides meet. A great multiplayer game is a promise to its players: it is there when you want to play, it feels instant, and it keeps getting better for years. That takes solid engineering, lean teams and smart use of AI. I know how to build that, and I know how it should feel to play.
