About Snapshot Games
Snapshot Games is a video game developer and publisher headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a focus on turn-based strategy and tactical role-playing games. Founded in 2013 by Julian Gollop and David Kaye, the studio develops original games, adapts tabletop properties and brings games to additional platforms. Its work spans tactical squad combat, strategic campaign systems, action-strategy and cooperative multiplayer.
The studio began with Chaos Reborn, a fantasy strategy game that launched on PC in October 2015 following a crowdfunding campaign. Its next major project, Phoenix Point, released in December 2019, combining turn-based squad battles with a strategic Geoscape layer. The game subsequently reached console audiences and surpassed one million players across its supported platforms.
Recent development
Snapshot Games broadened its portfolio with Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainioids, released in August 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game combines action and strategy with cooperative play and stylized comic-book visuals.
The studio also developed the digital adaptation of Isaac Childres' Frosthaven, translating the tabletop game's dark fantasy setting and tactical systems into a digital RPG. Following an Early Access release in July 2025, the game reached its full commercial release on October 15, 2026. Snapshot Games additionally developed the iOS and Android port of Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, released in September 2026.
Development capabilities
Its production capabilities cover game design and systems balancing, multiplatform engineering, concept and environment art, character modeling, animation and visual effects. Technical specialties include procedural map and creature generation, turn-based combat, cooperative systems, and touchscreen adaptation and optimization.
Embracer Group acquired Snapshot Games in November 2020. Initially placed within the Saber Interactive operating group, the studio remained with Embracer when Saber was divested in March 2024. It continues to operate autonomously, collaborating with fellow group publisher Arc Games on releases including Frosthaven and Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainioids.
