We are an ambitious and independent development studio, creating engaging, co-operative games that put players first. We strive to create service based games for enthusiast gamers that deliver genre-defining experiences. Based in Dublin and made up of industry veterans and passionate gamers, we are in the early phases of our first unannounced original IP project in the multiplayer space.

Vela is a constellation in the Southern Hemisphere that forms the sails of Argo Navis, the legendary ship that carried Jason and the Argonauts on their journey to retrieve the Golden Fleece. For us it represents the astronomical journey they are on, but more importantly it reminds us how they can build extraordinary things and forge legends by coming together. Whether it’s stars in the night sky, a team working to create something new, or players overcoming epic challenges, together they can shine brighter.

At Vela they love games of every type, but they know that multiplayer, when done well, has a special ability to bring people together. Unforgettable moments are created through the power of playing together. It allows players to keep in touch with old friends regardless of distance, and to forge new friendships that will last lifetimes. Vela was created with these moments in mind, and their focus every day is thinking about how they can create impactful gaming experiences that inspire gamers around the world to play and win together.
