ABOUT

We are a bootstrapping team of video game developers who have worked on some of the world's most beloved franchises, including Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, League of Legends, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Bioshock and Ultima Online. Building on our experience of crafting AAA games, our plucky, independent studio is fueled by passion and determination as we embark on this journey to make our dream project and create something different!

SOCIAL

We started NEARstudios to bring people together through immersive co-op games and so that we can build our debut game in close partnership with our community.

When we announced our debut game Hawthorn it unexpectedly went viral. A few dozen gaming and non-gaming outlets covered our announcement and several social media posts from content creators all over the world blew up and garnered over 10 million views! We are thrilled that so many people are excited for this game, especially since this is a passion project and we have bootstrapped this game with our personal savings to get to this point.
