Day 4 Night Productions

Day 4 Night Productions is the Milan-based Italian operating entity of the independent transatlantic game-development studio publicly known as Day 4 Night Studios. Founded in 2024, it develops original, story-driven action-adventure games with an emphasis on unconventional mechanics, player tools and satirical narrative design.

The studio was formed by a team of industry veterans including Davide Soliani, Cristina Nava, Gian Marco Zanna, Christian Cantamessa, Luca Breda and Riccardo Stucchi. Its work spans concept development, game design, production, systems engineering, cinematic direction and real-time technical pipelines.

Development focus

Day 4 Night Productions works across the full production cycle for interactive projects, including:

• Combat, traversal, level art, VFX, rigging and audio
• Interactive storytelling and cinematic direction
• Rapid prototyping and systems engineering
• Unreal Engine 5 development, asset optimisation and technical art
• Hybrid real-time CGI and live-action performance integration

Its technical specialties include Unreal Engine 5 workflows using the Gameplay Ability System, Niagara VFX and Control Rig, alongside systemic and physics-driven gameplay design.

Debut project

The studio is developing Bradley the Badger, its debut 3D action-adventure game for PC, with console platforms under evaluation. Revealed at The Game Awards in December 2025, the project is described as a satire of game-development hell and a love letter to video games. It features “the Kit,” an in-engine, developer-inspired toolkit that lets players reshape unfinished assets and alter environmental rules.

Evan Peters performs both voice-over and live-action roles in the game. In June 2026, Day 4 Night announced Focus Entertainment as the title’s global publishing partner.

Operating across Milan and a United States-based parent company, the studio combines Italian and North American development talent while maintaining a hybrid, remote-friendly production model.
