About Kokku

Kokku is a Brazilian external game development studio working on AAA and AA productions across PC, consoles, mobile and virtual reality. Founded in Recife in 2011, it began with web-based and casual games before expanding into high-end art outsourcing, technical development and collaborative production. Its work spans contributions to established franchises, complete game development and interactive experiences for entertainment and consumer brands.

Development and art production

The studio offers co-development that integrates its developers with client teams, covering gameplay engineering, core mechanics, systems design, multiplayer networking and performance optimization. Its full-cycle development service extends from concept development, game and level design, and prototyping through technical execution and commercial launch.

Art production includes concept art, characters, environments, weapons, props and hard-surface assets such as vehicles and robotic machines. Technical asset work encompasses high-to-low polygon baking, game meshes, levels of detail, rigging and skinning. Engineering capabilities include Unreal Engine, Unity and adaptations for custom or proprietary engines.

Kokku also handles porting and remastering across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms. This work includes platform certification, bug fixing and engine optimization, supported by quality assurance and performance profiling.

Games and interactive experiences

Kokku contributed machine and character art to Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West and the Burning Shores expansion. Its portfolio also includes art and development contributions to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the Sniper Ghost Warrior series, Truck Driver and The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure.

Alongside console and PC production, the studio develops branded virtual experiences for platforms including Roblox and Meta Horizon. Examples include Stranger Things: Starcourt Mall, Wonder Woman: The Themyscira Experience and Samsung Space Tycoon. In late 2025, it launched Tower Escape, a cooperative multiplayer Meta Horizon title conceived, engineered and fully developed internally.

Kokku maintains operations in Brazil and Portugal. It became part of OV Entertainment Group in June 2024 and continues operating as an active development studio.
