Founded by dreamers with technical expertise, Emagio Studios was born from a shared vision: to create games that transport players to richly imagined worlds where story and gameplay intertwine seamlessly.
Our debut title, "Strive: The Path Forward," represents everything we believe in as creators—cooperative experiences that strengthen bonds, narratives that resonate emotionally, and worlds inspired by the rich tapestry of history and mythology yet reimagined through our unique lens.
We are a small but dedicated team of artists, engineers, and storytellers committed to crafting experiences that stay with players long after they set down their controllers. Our studio celebrates the fusion of technical excellence and artistic expression, pushing the boundaries of what independent game development can achieve.
At Emagio, we believe games can be more than entertainment—they can be transformative journeys shared between friends and family. Each environment we build, character we design, and story we tell reflects our passion for creating meaningful connections through play.
Based in New York, our team brings diverse perspectives and talents to our craft, united by our love of gaming and our commitment to excellence. We're building more than games; we're building worlds where memories are made.
Join us on this adventure. The path forward begins here.
