About Velan Studios

  • From dodgeball in the streets to racetracks in your living room, we've always been more interested in asking "what if?" than following a roadmap.
  • Whether we're dreaming up a chaotic game of hide & seek in the dark or putting a legendary space fox back in the pilot's seat, that inventor's mindset runs through everything we do.
  • We make games for people who appreciate craft and a little bit of magic.
  • If you're curious, you'll be in good company.
  • Are you a combat designer who obsesses about enemy behavior, abilities and hit boxes?
  • Do you have experience collaborating with VFX artists and animators to deliver visceral, engaging and challenging combat encounters?
  • If making sword swings, shield blocks and boss encounters feel “just right” is your jam, we’d love to hear from you about helping us make a great new ARPG based on a premiere fantasy IP!
