About Room 8 Studio
Room 8 Studio is an international game-art production and visual co-development company operating as the dedicated art service line of Room 8 Group. Founded in Kyiv in 2011, it evolved from an independent mobile and co-development team into a specialist external-development partner for AAA and AA games.
The studio supports publishers and developers throughout the art-production lifecycle, from early visual exploration through asset delivery and live-service updates. Its work spans concept art, illustration, character and environment art, hard-surface modelling, animation, rigging, visual effects, UI/UX design, technical art, and engine integration for Unreal Engine 5 and Unity.
Art Production and Co-Development
Room 8 Studio provides:
- Pre-production and look development including key art, character and environment design, art bibles, benchmarking, and visual guidelines.
- 2D and 3D production for stylised and photorealistic characters, environments, props, weapons, vehicles, set dressing, and particle effects.
- Animation and technical delivery including rigging, facial and character animation, pipeline setup, optimisation, and in-engine asset integration.
- UI/UX, marketing, and LiveOps art such as HUDs, menu systems, seasonal-content assets, promotional art, trailers, and in-game cinematics.
The company serves PC, console, mobile, cross-platform, XR, driving-simulation, and real-time 3D entertainment projects. Its credited work includes Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, South of Midnight, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Alan Wake 2, Dead Space, Diablo IV, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Age of Empires IV, Fall Guys, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
International art capacity
Room 8 Studio’s global production network includes teams in Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. In February 2024, Room 8 Group unified acquired art providers Massive Black and PUGA Studios under the Room 8 Studio brand, consolidating concept-art, visual-development, and stylised-art capacity within the studio’s operating structure.
The studio works with major game publishers and developers, including Microsoft/Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Ubisoft, Remedy Entertainment, Blizzard Entertainment, Sony, and EA. Its work combines external art production with visual co-development for projects requiring scalable specialist teams and close integration with client pipelines.
More about Room 8 Studio
Origins and leadership
Room 8 Studio was founded in Kyiv by Sviatoslav Pohrebnoi and partners as an independent mobile and co-development team of roughly 30 developers. Its early self-developed titles included Cyto and Piano City, which received critical recognition and featured distribution through Apple and Chilingo.
Following the 2024 brand integration of Massive Black and PUGA Studios, the consolidated art-production organisation is led by Julien Proux, Executive VP of Art, and Elena Natsvlishvili, VP of Art.
International development
Following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the company relocated personnel toward Lviv and European branches while maintaining active operations at its original Kyiv studio.
