MADFINGER Games

MADFINGER Games is an independent game developer and publisher founded in Brno, Czech Republic in 2009. The studio creates PC and mobile games, with a particular focus on action and shooter experiences that combine high-fidelity presentation with competitive and cooperative play.

Its early work helped establish the team in mobile gaming, beginning with Samurai: Way of the Warrior and Samurai II: Vengeance. The studio subsequently released the Shadowgun series and the zombie-action titles Dead Trigger and Dead Trigger 2, alongside projects including Unkilled, Monzo, Shadowgun Legends, and Shadowgun War Games.

PC development

In 2021, MADFINGER Games received a €5 million minority investment from Nuverse to expand engineering capacity and begin work on next-generation PC projects. The company continues to operate independently under its original founders and management.

The studio’s current PC-focused direction is represented by Gray Zone Warfare, a tactical open-world extraction first-person shooter built with Unreal Engine 5. Released in Steam Early Access in April 2024, the game combines PvE and PvPvE gameplay in a fictional Southeast Asian setting.
