Order of Meta

Order of Meta is an independent Finnish video game developer based in Helsinki. The studio focuses on mid-core and hardcore action games for PC and mobile, with a particular interest in competitive shooters and extraction gameplay. Its work combines multiplayer action with tactical systems that extend beyond individual encounters.

The company develops its own games, using a self-publishing or co-publishing model. Its production capabilities include game design and direction, systems engineering, 3D art and animation, and cross-platform multiplayer architecture. Mobile-first development and PC game development both form part of its focus.

Debut project

Cargo Hunters is the studio’s debut title: a third-person extraction shooter set on a dystopian, post-apocalyptic Earth. Players control remote humanoid robotic units that scavenge for resources in an abandoned world. The project incorporates PvE and PvPvE gameplay, combining action with a tactical metagame built around shelter building, resource economics and gear crafting.

The game’s systems connect scavenging and combat with decisions about resources, equipment and shelter development. This combination reflects the studio’s broader focus on shooters with substantial progression and tactical depth.

A playable demo appeared in February 2026, followed by a Steam Early Access release on March 9, 2026. Development also includes mobile platforms, with an open beta testing programme alongside the PC release. These releases mark the transition from the studio’s initial development period to public play and testing of its first game.

Company background

Order of Meta was established by games industry veterans and incorporated in Finland in 2021. The studio remains independent, supported by venture capital investment. Its stated development ambition is to explore new subgenres within competitive shooting, building on the team’s experience in multiplayer action games.
