About Stratosphere Games
Stratosphere Games is an independent game development studio and publisher based in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 2015, it develops mobile and cross-platform games, with a focus on multiplayer experiences, mid-core games and massively multiplayer online games. Its work spans iOS, Android and PC, combining mobile development with the production ambitions associated with AAA games.
The studio develops its own intellectual properties and collaborates with external publishing and development partners. Its capabilities cover full-cycle game development, co-development, work-for-hire production, self-publishing and live operations. Multiplayer architecture and the ongoing management of online games are central parts of its offering, alongside proprietary technology and middleware licensing.
Games and development
The studio's portfolio includes Homeworld Mobile, a mobile massively multiplayer real-time strategy game developed in partnership with Gearbox Publishing, and The Desolation, a cooperative science-fiction looter-shooter designed for PC and mobile. Dawn of Ages combines historical medieval tactical combat with kingdom-building strategy, while The Kingdom: Medieval Tales brings together fantasy role-playing, life simulation and town-building. Earlier productions include the competitive tactical strategy game Warzone: Clash of Generals and the mobile strategy and tycoon title Idle War Tank Tycoon.
These projects reflect a range of approaches to strategy, cooperative play and persistent online experiences. The studio works across both established franchises and original games rather than concentrating on a single property or genre.
Technical foundation
Its proprietary FRAMEWORK architecture provides a modular foundation for building, deploying and scaling high-fidelity 3D multiplayer games across mobile and PC. The technology supports networking, live operations and retention systems, connecting initial production with the requirements of running an online game after launch.
