Tessera Studios

Tessera Studios is an independent Spanish video game developer and publisher based in Madrid. Founded in 2017 following a university team's formation the previous year, it develops original games and licensed entertainment titles for PC, consoles and virtual reality platforms. Its work spans psychological thrillers, action-adventure games and strategy experiences, combining game design, engineering, art and narrative production.

The studio's first commercial release, Intruders: Hide and Seek, grew from a student project into a first-person psychological thriller built around stealth and suspense. Released internationally in 2019 with Daedalic Entertainment and support from PlayStation Talents, it brought the team's early work to conventional and VR gaming platforms. This project established a foundation for the studio's subsequent multiplatform development work.

Original games and licensed productions

Tessera later developed Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova and Transformers: EarthSpark – Expedition for publisher Outright Games. These productions adapted established animated franchises into action-adventure games, with the Transformers title developed in collaboration with Hasbro. They represent the studio's expansion into work-for-hire and co-development alongside its own intellectual property.

In October 2026, Tessera launched the self-published The Zibbo Show, a roguelike dice battler and tactical deck-builder set within a deadly retro television show. Its development pipeline also includes the dark fantasy action RPG codenamed Castilla, the robot-repair VR adventure ROOT: Rise of the Revolution, and the commissioned action RPG codenamed Scales.

Development capabilities

The studio offers full-cycle production, from concept development, design documentation and prototyping through milestone delivery and post-release support. Its technical services include PC and console porting, optimization and performance tuning, supported by 3D environment and character creation, texturing and cutscene animation.

Beyond entertainment games, Tessera develops extended reality software for applications including architectural visualization and training. This combination of original production, licensed development and technical services underpins its operating model across traditional and immersive interactive media.
