Gunzilla Games

Gunzilla Games is an independent AAA video game development and publishing studio established in 2020 by technology entrepreneur Vlad Korolev and former Crytek executive Alexander Zoll. Its work combines multiplayer action, narrative development and digital asset infrastructure, with production distributed across Frankfurt am Main, Kyiv and London. The international business operates under parent company Poseidon 133 Pte. Ltd.

The studio’s flagship project, Off The Grid, is a free-to-play, third-person cyberpunk battle royale built in Unreal Engine 5. Set on the dystopian Teardrop Island, the game is designed to combine a competitive 150-player multiplayer format with a 60-hour environmental and narrative campaign. Its development brings together world design, gameplay and graphics programming, backend engineering, character production and ongoing live operations.

Games and connected technology

Alongside its game development, Gunzilla builds GUNZ, a blockchain ecosystem deployed on Avalanche infrastructure. The platform supports verified ownership of in-game items, including cosmetic modifications and cybernetic limbs, together with optional peer-to-peer trading through a digital marketplace and mobile wallet. The reported design allows players to engage with these systems without mandatory cryptocurrency mechanics.

Gunzilla also created Technocore, a companion mobile game connected to the GUNZ asset network. Together, these projects link the studio’s entertainment production with its development of player economy systems, wallet technology and marketplace infrastructure. Its broader technical capabilities include Unreal Engine 5 production and tooling, photogrammetry and photorealistic character scanning.

The company’s activities span full-cycle game development, publishing and release support for PC and console audiences. Its technology work also includes blockchain gaming architecture and API and SDK integration. In March 2025, Gunzilla expanded into gaming media through its acquisition of Game Informer, which continues as a distinct editorial publication. This gives the group an additional publishing activity alongside its games and connected technology platforms.
