Who are we?
Ghost Ship Games is a Danish game development studio, founded in the spring of 2016 by a group of veteran game developers. In less than three years, we have turned Ghost Ship Games into a profitable game studio, able to compete with other mid-size game studios on Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Our motto is simple: Co-op First.
We will take Co-op to the next level, and make great games, focused on the core gamer.
For the big studios, co-op is a bullet point. For us, it is the whole point.
