About The Company

A northern game studio founded in 2017 by Technical Artist Bruce Slater and Unity Engineer Freddie Babord.

Radical Forge was set up to be a safe haven for game developers to grow creatively, be treated with respect, and have transparency in leadership. Our studio values are why we’ve been able to grow the studio to over 70 employees who work in our Middlesbrough office and remotely.
