About Midow Studios

Midow Studios is an independent Maltese game development studio focused on immersive virtual reality and extended reality experiences. The company develops original interactive entertainment, combining VR game design with stylized 3D art, hand-painted texturing, Unity integration and optimization, and multiplayer systems.

Its debut project, Discovery of Magic, is a free-to-play multiplayer VR strategy RPG set at the magical academy Vulcan College. The game combines physical gesture-based spell-weaving with deckbuilding tactical combat, social-hub exploration and fantasy role-playing. The title has been presented as Malta’s first multiplayer VR game.

Immersive game development

The studio’s work spans:

  • Original IP video game development
  • VR game development and XR experience design
  • Gesture-based spatial interaction systems
  • Multiplayer VR and strategy-RPG mechanics
  • Prototyping for immersive interactive experiences

Midow Studios operates from the Base Camp startup incubator in Malta, a GamingMalta Foundation-supported environment for video-game and esports ventures. Its hybrid development model combines a local Maltese team with international remote talent.

Public showcases

Discovery of Magic was showcased at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne as part of the official GamingMalta delegation and at Playcon Malta 2025. The studio is continuing development of the game for planned availability on Steam and major VR headsets.
