Our games

Two titles. Both still played.

One live competitive shooter and one arena brawler we refuse to switch off. Both are Windows PC releases distributed on Steam.

Riftbound Arena

  • 2023
  • PC (Steam)
  • Free to play
  • Competitive 5v5
  • Unreal Engine 5

Riftbound Arena is a competitive 5v5 hero shooter built around a rift that reopens mid-round and rearranges the map under your feet. Twelve heroes, a ten-week season cadence and a ranked ladder that resets with each season. Free to play, with cosmetics only — no gameplay purchases, no battle-pass power.

Engine note: built and shipped on Unreal Engine 5, with a custom rollback-assisted netcode layer for hitscan resolution.

Emberfall

  • 2019
  • PC (Steam)
  • Maintenance mode
  • 3v3 arena brawler
  • Unity

Our first release: a 3v3 arena brawler with grapple movement, destructible cover and a round timer that punishes camping. Emberfall is now in maintenance mode — we still push security and compatibility fixes, but no new content.

Official matchmaking was retired in 2024 and replaced with a community server browser. The dedicated server binary is free to download and run, and a handful of long-running community servers have kept nightly lobbies going ever since. Engine note: built in Unity.
