Cathedral Studios

Who are Cathedral Studios?
Cathedral Studios are an indie game studio with a team of experienced game developers who are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of gaming. Cathedral Studios are constantly exploring new technologies and techniques to enhance the player experience, with a particular focus on adding depth and complexity to stories and gameplay mechanics, creating games that are truly one-of-a-kind.

But above all, Cathedral Studios believe in the power of storytelling, striving to create games that are not only fun to play but also thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.

What have you been up to in 2024?
2024 was a transformative year for Cathedral Studios from starting the year securing $6.66M seed funding to ending the year with an exclusive Slipknot trailer that was shown at their 25th Anniversary tour. We took an early Alpha version of the game to gamescom 2024, the world’s largest gaming expo and saw an incredible response to our first game, The Bornless.

We expanded our team this year, worked on developing a brand new game mode for our first title and redesigning the map, we secured a partnership with Tencent’s Anti Cheat team, we had exclusive trailers released on IGN, released a comic book and had one of our most successful playtest weekends over Halloween.

What are your plans for the future?
With the launch of our first game, The Bornless, not to far away we will be looking to continue making waves in the gaming industry whilst also exploring and expanding our own game portfolio.

We’re eager to launch our publishing division, building on the anticipated success of our upcoming release, to firmly establish Cathedral Studios as a powerhouse that takes immense pride in every game we develop and publish.

Do you think Essex is a place for business? If yes, why?
Here at Cathedral Studios, we’re incredibly proud to call Essex our home base.

Even though we’re anchored in Essex, our team spans the globe. Proximity to London is a massive advantage—giving us ready access to the capital’s resources and talent—yet Essex retains its own unique identity and supportive local community. Simply put, Essex is a brilliant place to do business, and we’re thrilled to be part of its growing creative community!
