About NeoBards Entertainment
NeoBards Entertainment is an independent AAA video game development studio founded on February 15, 2017. Headquartered in Hong Kong, with principal development operations in Taipei and Suzhou, it works on console, PC and mobile games for international publishers. Its production spans full-cycle development, co-development, remastering, platform porting and live-operations support.
The studio brings together game design, engineering, visual art and audio production. Its capabilities include combat and level design, multiplayer systems, character and environmental art, UI/UX, sound design and in-house recording. Technical work encompasses Unreal Engine and Capcom’s RE Engine, alongside the engineering needed to adapt existing games for modern platforms. This combination supports both lead-development assignments and contributions to larger productions involving external teams.
Lead development and collaboration
NeoBards served as lead developer on Resident Evil: Resistance and Resident Evil Re:Verse. It also led development of Konami’s Silent Hill f, released in September 2025 and written by Ryukishi07. These projects form a substantial part of its work in action, multiplayer and survival horror games. Its mobile development portfolio includes Dynasty Warriors M, developed with Koei Tecmo and Nexon.
The company’s collaboration with Capcom extends across multiple franchises and production roles. Its portfolio includes co-development on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, development and remastering work on Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, and remasters of Devil May Cry HD Collection and Onimusha: Warlords. It also contributed to modern-platform versions of several Resident Evil titles.
Beyond Capcom, NeoBards provided development support for Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and character skill design and implementation for Marvel’s Avengers. Its porting work includes Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions of No Straight Roads. Across these assignments, the studio operates both as a lead developer responsible for complete games and as a production partner contributing specific design, technical or platform expertise.
