Electric Square

Electric Square is a British video game development studio focused on full and co-development for AAA console, PC, virtual-reality and interactive entertainment projects. Founded in Brighton in 2015, the studio works across character-action games, racing titles and other large-scale productions, combining game engineering with art production and design support.

The studio provides full-SKU development, co-development, distributed engineering resources, platform support, porting and remastering. Its art services span concept and visual development, character and creature art, weapons, vehicles, props, environments, animation, technical art, world building and UI/UX design.

Development capabilities

Electric Square develops for multiple platforms and uses Unreal Engine 4 and 5, Unity DOTS and proprietary engines. Its specialist work includes:

• AAA console and character-action development
• VR development and multi-platform engineering
• Technical art, visual effects and 3D production

Established as Studio Gobo Development Ltd in 2015, the business adopted the public Electric Square identity in 2017 and became Electric Square Limited in 2018. It was acquired by Keywords Studios in August 2018 alongside Studio Gobo, while retaining its own studio identity and brand.

Electric Square has expanded from its Brighton roots into an international development network, including studios in Singapore and Malta. Across that network, its multidisciplinary team supports projects for console, PC, Apple platforms and immersive media.
