About Us
At Crater Studios, we are redefining the future of gaming by building a diverse portfolio of micro-AAA games that leverage shared technology, resources, and an interconnected player community.

Each game's success amplifies the others, compounding growth and enhancing the player experience across our titles. Our ultimate goal is to become the premier destination for millions of players transitioning to more sophisticated gaming environments, delivering seamless cross-game features like shared quests, social interactions, and interoperable rewards.
