Prophecy Games

Prophecy Games is an independent American video game developer and publisher based in Alpharetta, Georgia, in the northern Atlanta metropolitan area. Its work focuses on fast-paced first-person shooters, action roguelites and competitive multiplayer games, with development spanning PC and current-generation consoles.

Established in late 2019 as an internal development team within Hi-Rez Studios, the business became an independent company in early 2020. Its developers brought experience working on multiplayer games including Tribes: Ascend, SMITE and Paladins. Those titles form part of the team's professional background rather than the independent studio's own production credits.

Games and development direction

The studio's first release was Prophecy, a top-down fantasy strategy auto-battler that entered early access in 2020. Its subsequent work shifted toward science-fiction action and competitive shooters built with Unreal Engine. Starsiege: Deadzone entered early access in 2023 as a multiplayer extraction shooter, followed by TRIBES 3: Rivals in 2024, featuring high-speed skiing, jetpack movement and team-based combat.

Deadzone: Rogue combines roguelite progression with responsive first-person gunplay, elemental augments and drop-in cooperative play. Following its PC launch, the game expanded to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. Post-launch development included free expansions such as Apophis. The studio has also developed Deadzone Rogue 2, with demo versions extending that line of science-fiction shooter projects.

Production capabilities

Prophecy Games handles development and publishing across the game lifecycle, from concept and pre-production through release and ongoing support. Its capabilities include game design, systems balancing, software engineering, environment art, 3D modeling and visual effects. Technical specialties include multiplayer networking, dedicated infrastructure, movement and physics systems, Unreal Engine optimization and cross-platform engineering.

Alongside production, the studio manages publishing, community engagement and live game operations, connecting its development work with continued updates and support for released titles.
