This August marks Gathering Studio's fifth anniversary—a milestone that calls for both celebration and reflection. What began as a core team of eight developers working out of a converted warehouse in Antananarivo has grown into a multi-studio operation with 140+ developers across three continents.
The Beginning
Founded in 2020 with a simple mission—create games that combine cinematic storytelling with innovative gameplay—Gathering Studio released its first title, Neon Circuit, in 2022. The competitive racer found unexpected success, particularly in emerging markets, providing the foundation for rapid expansion.
We started with a belief that great games can come from anywhere. Five years later, our team spans Madagascar, Canada, and Singapore—and we're just getting started.
By the Numbers
The studio's growth has been driven by a commitment to sustainable production and player-first design. Key milestones include:
- 28M+ players across all titles
- 19 industry awards
- 3 studio locations worldwide
- 4 games across multiple genres
- 140+ developers from 22 countries
What's Next
Looking ahead, 2026 promises to be our biggest year yet with the launch of Ashen Rift, the full release of Mythwarden, and—if all goes well—the public reveal of Nocturne. We're also expanding our publishing operations to bring third-party titles that share our values to global audiences.
