Gunfire Games 10 Year Anniversary!
/On September 15th, we're celebrating 10 years as a studio! It’s wild to think about—it feels like just yesterday we started, yet at the same time, it feels like we’ve been on this journey forever. Over the past decade, we’ve shipped 10 games, with several of them getting some extra love through DLC releases.
When we kicked things off, there were fewer than 15 of us. Our very first game was Herobound for the Gear VR, in collaboration with the team at Oculus. A few months later, we followed that up with Herobound: Spirit Champion. Even though it was a small game for a phone-based VR headset, it showcased elements that would become core to what we do—exploration, tight combat, awesome gear, and big boss fights. Around the same time, we worked on the remaster of Darksiders II, which became the "Deathinitive Edition". A lot of us had worked together at Vigil Games, so revisiting Darksiders II felt like a bit of a homecoming.
Next, we tackled something totally new: Chronos. We turned that game around in less than 11 months and launched it alongside the Oculus Rift. And we weren’t done yet! We also released an Oculus Rift version of Herobound: Spirit Champion. From there, we teamed up with Oculus again and released Dead and Buried, then moved on to From Other Suns, which featured 3-person co-op, randomly generated levels, dynamic encounters, and unique loot. Sound familiar? That game set the stage for our future.
Shortly after, we took on our biggest project yet—Darksiders III. But we were also working on something new and ambitious: Remnant: From the Ashes. Building off the world we started in Chronos, we set out to create a co-op shooter with randomization, cryptic secrets, and unforgettable moments for players to share. Remnant: From the Ashes struck a chord with players, and after launching two DLCs, we started work on what would become our biggest success to date: Remnant II, which launched on July 25, 2023.
Now, as we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we're also releasing our final DLC for Remnant II—The Dark Horizon, our most extensive DLC yet. This feels like the perfect moment to say thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey—our current and former developers, partners, and especially you, the players. Whether you’ve played one of our games or all of them, we couldn’t have done it without your support.
We can't wait to share what's next when the time is right. Thank you for your passion and excitement—it means the world to us.
