Who We Are

Eternal Forge Entertainment is an emerging video game development studio dedicated to creating deep and immersive experiences that connect players with unique worlds. Establishing our first headquarters in São Paulo, Brazil, we are forming a passionate team for our inaugural project, focused on combining RPG and survival elements in a mobile environment.

As a growing studio, we greatly value the people who make up our team. We have created an organizational culture centered on empowering individual talent, fostering a healthy work environment, and avoiding at all costs the crunch practices so common in the industry. We firmly believe that the best games come from happy and motivated teams.

What Sets Us Apart

At Eternal Forge Entertainment, we differentiate ourselves through our focus on meeting players’ real expectations, with unique features that address the main criticisms of current video games:

• Living and Interactive Worlds: We design environments where player actions directly affect the narrative, simulated economy, and relationships with non-playable characters.
• Advanced AI for NPCs: We plan to implement in the future non-playable characters with clear backstories and defined purposes that will evolve as the game progresses, this being a long-term vision for our titles.
• Co-creation with the Community: Through an early access model, we interact directly with players via live streams, discussion forums, and feedback sessions.
