About DigixArt
DigixArt is a French video game development studio founded in 2015 and based in Montpellier. Its work focuses on narrative-driven adventures, combining player choice with emotionally resonant themes and social commentary. Across its games, the studio has explored rhythm-based interaction, procedural storytelling and branching narratives for PC, consoles and mobile platforms.
The studio's debut, Lost in Harmony (2016), combined an emotional story with runner and rhythm gameplay. Its next release, 11-11: Memories Retold (2018), took an impressionistic approach to a narrative adventure set during World War I. Together, these early projects established a portfolio spanning music-led interaction and historically grounded storytelling.
Stories shaped by players
Released in August 2021, Road 96 developed the studio's interest in player-driven storytelling through a procedural road-trip adventure exploring authoritarianism and freedom. The game made choices central to its narrative experience. Road 96: Mile 0, released in April 2023, returned to that setting with a prequel focused on the backstories of Zoe and Kaito.
On April 22, 2026, DigixArt and publisher THQ Nordic released Tides of Tomorrow. Set in the flooded oceanic world of Elynd, the adventure centers on player decisions and asynchronous community impact, extending the studio's exploration of how individual choices affect a shared narrative experience.
Development and company history
DigixArt's capabilities cover the full development cycle, including concept development, game design, narrative writing, programming, art and sound design. The studio also undertakes cross-platform porting and optimization, supporting releases across different gaming platforms.
Embracer Group acquired DigixArt in August 2021, initially placing it within Koch Media, later renamed PLAION. Following subsequent internal realignments, the studio joined the THQ Nordic family within Embracer Group. The supplied company history describes DigixArt as retaining its creative independence and studio culture through that transition.
