The studio
A world before a company
The people who built The World of Patriam spent years telling its stories through mods and multiplayer projects, then founded Patriam Studios to make the first standalone game set there.
Founded by a group of friends who have worked together for over half a decade, we are based in New Zealand with a team spread across the world. The Saga of Roljar is our first game. We show our work at the New Zealand Game Developers Conference and keep our community close on Discord.
Our vision
Worlds that stay with you
We are an independent studio based in New Zealand with an international team, dedicated to story-driven games set in The World of Patriam. We believe in the power of storytelling to forge emotional connections, and we build worlds that stay with players long after they step away from the screen.
