WE'RE HIRING

Neon Giant is a small team of experienced games industry veterans with a heritage in some of the world’s biggest action game franchises. With our combined know-how, passion and ambition, we’ve set out to create a new type of studio. Our intention is to draw upon our AAA experience and focus on working efficiently, empowering each individual in order to maximise our creativity and push the boundaries of making really fun videogames.

At Neon Giant, every team member is a key player in our bold vision of creating world-class action games that will stand proud and tall with the giants.

The Ascent is a solo and co-op action shooter RPG set in a cyberpunk world released in 2021 to PC and consoles. The mega corporation that owns you and everyone, The Ascent Group, has just collapsed. Can you survive without it?

What people are saying

If you could bottle the creative fire of the Bulletstorm design team, it would be too dangerous to serve in bars in 130 countries...even Poland. I’m simultaneously excited and frightened by Neon Giant’s next project.

Mike Capps | Former president - Epic Games

This is a cool news to me, as I worked with all these guys on Bulletstorm and thus I know firsthand how talented they are. And crazy. Definitely an indie studio to watch. I know it's cliche to say "I cannot wait to see what they'll come up with" but I cannot wait to see what they'll come up with.

Adrian Chmielarz | Creative Director - The Astronauts

Seeing a team of this caliber back together again gets me excited. Arcade and Jonathan have a lot of experience and a great design sense, while Tor is a major force in the art world. I've learned so much from Tor that I almost feel like I've worked alongside him. Which I haven't. Yet. I'm super excited to see what they're going to show us first!

Warren Marshall | Freelance 3D artist

I'm really looking forward to seeing what these guys make. Tor Frick is one of the most famous artists in the industry, known for always being on the leading edge of his craft.

Seneca Menard | Gearbox Software

Tor is a tremendous talent and you should give him and his team all the monies.

Cliff Bleszinski | Game development icon

These guys are a force in the industry. I have admired their work for a long time. Whatever they do next will be amazing and I can’t wait to see!

Chris Perna | Director of Art, World Wide Studios - Epic Games

Arcade's drive and determination are contagious. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Neon Giant!

Stacey Conley | Community Manager - Epic Games

Tor Frick is among the most influential 3D artists in the business, and to a good many people he is the top. When he signs up for a project, it better be on your map, pronto.

Lee Perry | Indie Dev, former Lead Designer - Epic Games

Formed from the shards of some of Europe's best studios, Neon Giant is the single most promising and exciting game developer out there right now. I can't wait to play what they're making.
