About The Farm 51
The Farm 51 is an independent Polish video game developer and interactive technology studio based in Gliwice. Founded in 2005, it combines PC and console game production with photogrammetry, virtual reality and real-time simulation. Its work spans first-person shooters, action-adventure games, psychological thrillers and survival role-playing games, alongside applications for education, cultural preservation and defense training.
The studio began with NecroVisioN in 2009 and its prequel, NecroVisioN: Lost Company, in 2010. It subsequently developed Painkiller: Hell & Damnation and Deadfall Adventures, extending its work across supernatural shooters and adventure-driven action. The psychological thriller Get Even, published by Bandai Namco Entertainment in 2017, brought its environment reconstruction expertise into a narrative game built around mystery and memory.
Games and reconstructed environments
High-fidelity spatial capture is a recurring part of the studio's development work. Its capabilities include 3D scanning, laser scanning, aerial mapping and photogrammetric asset creation, supporting detailed digital environments for games and interactive experiences. These methods underpin projects drawing on the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, including the interactive documentary Chernobyl VR Project and the survival RPG Chernobylite.
The Farm 51 also developed the tactical multiplayer shooter World War 3. Its subsequent production includes Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, continuing its work in action, survival and role-playing games. Across its portfolio, the company combines entertainment production with technical research into capturing and reconstructing real places.
Simulation and applied development
Beyond entertainment, the studio develops VR and AR applications, educational experiences and military simulation software. Its defense work includes collaborations with contractors and drone manufacturers on dual-use drone simulation environments built in Unreal Engine 5. This activity applies its real-time environment and reconstruction capabilities to training and simulation as well as commercial games.
