Studio Fizbin

Studio Fizbin was a German video game developer founded in Ludwigsburg in 2011. Its work combined hand-crafted animation, distinctive characters and narrative-driven design across PC, console and mobile games. Alongside its original games, the studio developed commissioned interactive applications, educational software and museum installations.

The studio established its game portfolio with The Inner World, a point-and-click adventure released in 2013 through publishing partner Headup Games. Its sequel, The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk, followed in 2017. These projects formed part of a broader focus on imaginative worlds and story-led experiences, supported by capabilities in game design, visual art, animation and software development.

In 2021, Studio Fizbin released three games spanning different approaches to interactive storytelling: the puzzle platformer Minute of Islands, published by Mixtvision; the comedic adventure Say No! More, published by Thunderful Publishing; and Lost At Sea. Its commissioned work included children's applications associated with WDR programmes such as Die Sendung mit dem Elefanten and Wissen macht Ah!, as well as interactive projects for cultural institutions. This work extended the studio's production activity beyond commercial entertainment releases into broadcasting, education and exhibitions.

Thunderful Group acquired Studio Fizbin in February 2023 through Headup. The studio subsequently developed Reignbreaker, an action roguelite previously known as Project Kokidon. Following Thunderful's restructuring and unsuccessful efforts to secure alternative funding or publishing commitments, Studio Fizbin announced in March 2025 that it would wind down after completing the game.

Reignbreaker launched on March 18, 2025, as the studio's final production. The team provided post-launch support through mid-2025 before development operations ceased and staff received assistance with finding other industry roles. As of November 2026, its former development premises in Ludwigsburg and Berlin were closed, while the registered legal entity remained under Thunderful's corporate administration.
