About Deep Silver Dambuster

Deep Silver Dambuster Studios Ltd. is a British AAA video game developer headquartered in Nottingham, United Kingdom. Established on 30 July 2014, the studio has roots dating back to 1999 as Free Radical Design. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plaion (formerly Deep Silver), which is part of the Embracer Group.

Their mission is to deliver immersive experiences with a focus on high-quality FPS gameplay, exceptional art, and narrative-driven storytelling, continuously pushing technical boundaries in physics and environmental design.
