Wushu Studios

Wushu Studios is a Liverpool-based British video game development studio focused on AAA game development, co-development partnerships, and original intellectual property. Established in 2017, it works with publishers and development teams on projects spanning full-game development, engineering support, technical animation, remakes, remasters, ports, live-game operations, and downloadable content.

The studio’s technical work covers gameplay programming, character rigging, engine-pipeline scripting, DCC-to-engine tooling, and multi-platform optimisation. Its teams have experience with Unreal Engine, Unity, and proprietary game engines, supporting console and PC games across the wider interactive-entertainment market.

Co-development and technical support

Wushu operates as a multi-disciplinary development partner, contributing creative and engineering expertise to new features, entire games, and ongoing live projects. Its reported capabilities include:

• AAA co-development and engineering support
• Full-game and original-IP development
• Remakes, remasters, and multi-platform porting
• Technical animation and character-rigging support
• Live-game support, operations, and DLC

Part of Keywords Studios

In August 2024, Keywords Studios acquired Wushu Studios and brought it into its Create division. Wushu retained its management team, studio culture, and creative autonomy while becoming part of the international technical and creative-services group.

Wushu’s development operations remain centred in Liverpool. In 2024, the studio moved its growing team from its original Baltic Triangle space to a larger dedicated floor at Exchange Flags. The move followed the studio’s expansion as a technical and creative partner for global game developers and publishers.
