Mythforge Studios
We Forge Myths Into Games
An independent studio building worlds that outlast their creators.
We make games we would cross oceans to play.
Our Story
Mythforge Studios was born from a simple frustration: the fantasy strategy games we loved most had all stopped being made. The genre had moved on. We had not. So we decided to forge the game ourselves.
We are a small, focused team of developers who believe that the greatest games are built on obsessive worldbuilding, meticulous systems design, and the willingness to spend years getting something right. We do not chase trends. We chase depth.
Shattered Arcana is our first game. It is the game we have always wanted to play — and we are building it the only way we know how: with everything we have.
What We Believe
Our Pillars
WORLD FIRST
We build worlds that exist before and after the player logs in. The lore, the history, the ecology — all of it is real before a single mechanic is designed.
FEEL OVER FLASH
If it does not feel right, no amount of visual polish will save it. We iterate on feel until the game is a pleasure to play, then we make it beautiful.
CRAFT NOT CONTENT MILL
We make fewer things and make them better. Every race, every spell, every dragon type earns its place. Quality over quantity, always.
TOOLS MASTERY
We learn our tools deeply and push them to their limits. Unreal Engine 5 is not just a renderer to us — it is a creative instrument we are still learning to play.
THE LONG GAME
We build for decades, not for quarterly reviews. Great games are not shipped, they are grown. We plant seeds and tend them with patience.
Our Inspirations
Shaped by the Best
We were shaped by games that trusted players to be intelligent, curious, and patient. FromSoftware taught us that difficulty done right is a love language. CDPR showed us that worldbuilding without limits creates something players remember for decades. Larian reminded us that player agency is the most powerful mechanic ever invented. Team Cherry proved that a tiny team, given enough time and obsession, can build something that stands alongside the giants. We carry all of that with us every day.
