About Iron Wolf Studio
Iron Wolf Studio is an independent Polish game developer and publisher specializing in realistic military simulations and digital applications for tabletop wargaming. Based in Katowice, its work focuses on World War II naval warfare and armored combat, combining historical research with game design and vehicle simulation.
The business began through collaborative work on U-BOOT: The Board Game in 2016, before its formal incorporation in 2017. That project established the studio’s approach to combining physical games with software: a tabletop experience supported by a digital companion application for PC and mobile devices. The physical game was published by Phalanx, while Iron Wolf Studio developed the companion software.
Military simulation projects
Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter recreates anti-submarine warfare aboard Fletcher-class destroyers during the Battle of the Atlantic. The studio developed and co-published the game with Daedalic Entertainment. It entered Early Access in September 2022, reached its full release in December 2023, and continued receiving updates in October 2026.
Its second major PC title, Sherman Commander, was released in March 2026. The game approaches armored tactical warfare from the perspective of an M4 Sherman tank commander. Together, these projects reflect the studio’s emphasis on specific military roles, historically grounded vehicles, and detailed combat simulation.
The reported development portfolio also includes Destroyer 2: Hell in the Pacific and Tiger Commander. Both remain in development as of the November 2026 research date.
Development and publishing
The studio’s capabilities span full-cycle PC development, game design, historical research, technical consulting, and companion application maintenance across Steam, iOS, and Android. Its production work includes military archival consultation and physics-based vehicle dynamics implemented in Unity.
Iron Wolf Studio combines development with self-publishing and co-publishing arrangements. Its commercial work connects PC simulation games with the tabletop industry, serving audiences interested in naval operations, armored tactics, and historically authentic military experiences.
