About Angelicore Game Studios

Angelicore Game Studios is an independent developer and publisher focused on narrative-driven games for PC and consoles. Formerly known as Metaverse Game Studios, the company develops science-fiction experiences combining cinematic storytelling, character design and turn-based tactical combat.

Its principal project, Angelic: Dark Symphony, is an Unreal Engine 5 tactical RPG in active development. The game combines a narrative-led structure with squad-based battles and an interconnected science-fiction universe. The studio also develops Angelic: The Chaos Theatre, a free multiplayer tactical combat module and simulation arena.

The company's capabilities span full-cycle game development, publishing, narrative and character design, real-time 3D production and cinematic animation. Its production specialties include hero-based tactics, visual effects, multiplayer simulation architecture and science-fiction worldbuilding. These capabilities support its focus on bringing narrative and tactical systems together within the Angelic universe.

Origins and change of direction

The project began conceptually with a small development team in Turkey in 2016. Operations were subsequently suspended, before the business was re-established in 2020 and incorporated in Florida. This earlier development history preceded the company's renewed production activity.

The studio initially attracted funding from blockchain investors, but its subsequent direction moved away from Web3 systems. On October 17, 2025, it announced the cancellation of its planned Angelverse token and removed blockchain-related mechanisms from its games. Its current focus is traditional narrative and tactical gameplay.

On January 6, 2026, the company announced its rebrand to Angelicore Game Studios, aligning its public identity with its flagship intellectual property. The rebrand continued the existing studio's development and publishing business under a new name.

More about Angelicore Game Studios

Leadership

  • Founder and CEO Erkan Bayol previously founded Céidot Game Studios and collaborated with senior talent from Bungie, Crytek and Ubisoft.

Operating model

  • The company operates primarily as a remote-first international team. Its globally distributed model was adopted when operations resumed in 2020; the presence of remote leadership and contractors in Türkiye does not represent a physical Turkish studio.

Funding and naming history

  • In March 2022, the studio raised $10 million in funding led by Pantera Capital, Animoca Brands, Solana Ventures and Everyrealm.
  • Bayol explained that the original name's use of “Metaverse” referred to an interconnected narrative universe conceived in 2016. Its later association with speculative terminology and financial platforms contributed to the decision to change the name.
  • Despite its early blockchain-investor backing, leadership refused play-to-earn mechanics and avoided NFT sales.
