Shiro Games

Shiro Games is an independent French video game developer and publisher that creates and self-publishes original PC and console games. Its work spans real-time strategy and 4X games, tactical and open-world RPGs, action-adventure titles, and roguelites, alongside publishing support for third-party independent developers through its Shiro Unlimited label.

The studio emerged in 2012 with Evoland, an action-adventure RPG built around the changing visual and mechanical history of games. It followed with Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder and expanded into strategy with Northgard, before releasing the cooperative roguelite Darksburg. Later projects include the medieval tactical RPG Wartales and the 4X real-time strategy game Dune: Spice Wars, developed with Funcom. In 2026, Shiro released Farever and SpaceCraft into early access.

Development and publishing

Shiro Games combines full-cycle game development with publishing, co-production, quality assurance, marketing, distribution, localization, cross-platform porting, community management, live operations, and post-launch expansions. Its publishing label works with external indie teams on curation, financing, QA, PR, and commercial publishing.

The company develops for PC storefronts including Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store, as well as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile platforms. Its technical capabilities include in-house engine and tool development, built around the Haxe programming language, HashLink virtual machine, Heaps.io engine, and HIDE editor.
