About Ice Code Games
Ice Code Games is a Polish independent game development studio founded in 2014 and headquartered in Warsaw. It develops PC and console games with a particular focus on tactical combat, strategy systems and turn-based play. Its portfolio spans real-time strategy, tactical westerns, pirate roguelites and science-fiction puzzles, reflecting a progression from early mobile projects toward strategy-led productions.
The studio's early work included mobile games and Deep Blue, a 3D space puzzle game released in 2017. It subsequently developed Re-Legion, a cyberpunk real-time strategy game published by 1C Entertainment in 2019. The game places players in control of religious cult factions, combining its science-fiction setting with faction management and strategic conflict.
Tactical games and publishing partnerships
For Hard West 2, released in 2022, Ice Code Games worked with Good Shepherd Entertainment on a supernatural western built around turn-based tactical encounters. Its distinctive Bravado mechanic enables chained actions, making momentum and the sequencing of moves central to combat.
The studio followed with Rogue Waters, a tactical pirate roguelite published by Tripwire Interactive through Tripwire Presents. Released on PC in 2024, the game expanded to consoles in early 2025. Its subsequent development portfolio includes Nightmare Frontier, described in the research as a tactical extraction looter.
Alongside full-cycle development, the company's capabilities cover game design, systems programming, prototyping, publishing and co-production. Its broader offering includes consultancy, technology components and software quality assurance. Supported platform experience encompasses PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
Company development
The development business entered the public markets through a reverse takeover completed across late 2021 and early 2022. The original operating entity was absorbed into the listed company Avatrix S.A., creating Ice Code Games S.A. This corporate transaction followed the studio's establishment and did not mark the beginning of its game development operations.
