Perun Creative

Perun Creative is an independent Czech video game developer and publisher creating narrative-driven games for PC and consoles. Founded in 2017, the studio combines original game production with co-development, publishing and multiplatform adaptation. Its work spans open-world urban survival, retro first-person shooters and dark fantasy action-adventure games with RPG elements.

The studio's debut, Hobo: Tough Life, places players in Praslav, a fictional post-communist city where survival forms the basis of an open-world RPG. The game entered Steam Early Access in 2017 before its full PC release in April 2021. Perun Creative subsequently developed editions for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, extending the project across several console platforms.

Its publishing and collaborative development work includes Kvark, a retro-styled first-person shooter set in an alternative version of 1980s Czechoslovakia. Developed with independent studio Latest Past, the game reached its full PC release in October 2024, followed by console editions in May 2025. The project illustrates Perun Creative's work supporting another development team alongside its internally produced games.

Kromlech, its next major internal production, entered Steam Early Access in March 2026. Built in Unreal Engine, it combines dark fantasy and Celtic-inspired mythology with tactical combat, RPG elements and meta-progression. Together, these projects reflect a portfolio that moves between grounded urban settings, alternative history and mythological fantasy.

Development capabilities

Perun Creative works with Unreal Engine and Unity, combining game design and software engineering with art, animation and platform optimization. Its capabilities include optical motion capture recording, animation cleanup and adaptations for PC and consoles, with experience across PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

The company's production teams are based in eastern Czechia, with technical development and visual production organized as complementary parts of the same studio. Alongside commercial development and publishing, it participates in regional game-development education through its university-based Perun Academy initiative.
