Rare Earth Games

Rare Earth Games was an Austrian video game developer founded in Vienna in June 2020. It focused on original co-operative action adventures and online multiplayer games for PC, console and cloud platforms. Described as a “triple-indie” studio, its development ambitions centred on replayable action experiences and team strategy.

The studio's capabilities included full-cycle game development, game design, prototyping and systems programming. Its founders had previously worked together at Socialspiel Entertainment and Iron Mountain Interactive, bringing experience from the Austrian games industry and earlier roles at established international developers.

Development and publishing

In August 2020, Amplifier Game Invest acquired the studio through Embracer Group, making Rare Earth Games Amplifier's first acquisition in Austria. The acquisition supported its plans to develop original multiplayer games across several platforms.

In March 2022, Rare Earth Games announced a publishing partnership with Coffee Stain Publishing for an unannounced cross-platform co-operative action project. Development continued during the following years, but the studio did not release a commercial title before its closure. Its portfolio should therefore be understood through its development work on unreleased original projects.

Later history

The studio's ownership arrangements changed during Embracer Group's restructuring. Amplifier Studios AB ceased to be a shareholder in April 2024, and Rare Earth Games subsequently struggled to secure alternative publisher backing.

The company entered formal insolvency proceedings in January 2025. Following the distribution of assets in November 2025, its legal entity was deleted from the Austrian company register on January 21, 2026, marking the studio's permanent closure.
