Ringtail Studios

Ringtail Studios is a game art outsourcing and co-development studio founded in 2006 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. It creates art for video games and interactive entertainment, supporting developers and publishers across AAA, AA, independent and mobile projects. Its production capabilities cover PC, console and immersive platforms, with work spanning individual assets, animation and ongoing game content.

The studio developed from an independent 3D art business into an international production operation with teams in Estonia, Moldova and Georgia. It joined Magic Media in July 2021 while retaining its distinct studio brand, management and dedicated production facilities.

Art production and animation

Ringtail provides an end-to-end art pipeline, beginning with concept design and continuing through asset creation and implementation. Its artists produce characters, creatures, environments, props, weapons and vehicles. Production work includes sculpting, high- and low-poly modeling, retopology, UV unwrapping and physically based texturing, alongside level-of-detail generation and optimization for real-time use.

Animation services encompass rigging, skinning, blendshapes, keyframe animation and motion editing. The studio also supplies 2D game animation. Its concept and visual design work includes character and creature concepts, environment illustrations, marketing illustrations and visual style guides, helping establish the appearance of assets before production.

Integrated development support

Ringtail integrates art into partner pipelines using Unreal Engine, Unity and proprietary game engines. Technical art and engine optimization connect asset production with implementation requirements, while co-development services support continuing production needs. Its live-service work includes ongoing content delivery and support for established games.

The studio’s portfolio includes contributions to Remnant 2, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Generation Zero and New World. Its credited work ranges from weapons, vehicles and environmental props to animation support and additional content for strategy games. A continuing partnership on theHunter Classic also reflects its involvement beyond standalone asset commissions, extending into co-development and live support.
