What We Do
As the gaming arm of Bad Robot Productions (Lost, Cloverfield, Westworld, Star Wars), Bad Robot Games is passionate about telling stories and building worlds that can only be experienced through games. Our goal is to create gaming destinations across all platforms that are as fun to watch as they are to play. Through our two development teams (an in-house studio, and a creative co-development team who collaborates with external partners), Bad Robot Games drives a diverse slate which includes AAA and iii titles, as well as a mix of original projects and established IP.
All our projects unite our games industry veterans, our film and TV colleagues, and our larger network of talent (writers, composers, sound designers, concept artists, and more), which uniquely allows us to blend artists, areas of expertise, and perspectives across industries to create truly innovative games. And because of this constant collaboration, we’re able to bring a novel, fully-integrated approach to cross-medium world building.
We believe every project should feel like you’re making something special—and that you’re making it with a family. Any act of creation is a leap of faith. The fun comes from believing that it just might work.
