Video games development studio Liquid Swords was founded in 2020 by Christofer Sundberg. The mission is to develop highly action focused video games for an adult core audience, with a strong focus on delivering deep and highly entertaining experiences of the highest quality.
The games are based on original intellectual properties created by Christofer Cundberg and his team, who previously have created the +18m selling franchise ‘Just Cause’ as well as The_Hunter, Mad Max, Generation zero, Rage 2 and Renegade Ops. Other members of the team have been playing key roles in the development of such games as Mirror’s Edge, the Battlefield franchise and the Pay Day franchise.
Our ambitions are high and we intend to quickly carve out our space in the open world genre and create open-world game franchises where depth and quality are keywords. Needless to say, we have the experience but also the team and the right game to be off for a great start.
We are a well-financed start-up and we measure our success with the release of fantastic AAA experiences. We want to work with YOU as an individual and use all your talent and experience to build this game experience.
Why you should be working at Liquid Swords!
A privately held company, financed by founder Christofer Cundberg and a group of private investors who also function as advisors to the company.
A senior startup in the sense that all essentials like insurances, pensions and funding are in place at the same time as you get to be involved in building both a company and a game from the ground up.
Game development to the core. We focus on game development and game development only. Our focus is not numbers or securing investments.
We develop AAA games with a small studio approach. Our ambition is not to grow the company into a +200 employee company, but to maintain relatively small. Everyone is required to take on multiple roles and be entrepreneurs within their field of expertise.
Our core team members have a proven track-record of developing multi-million selling franchises.
Our focus is to develop mature intellectual properties for the adult player.
We take risks where risks are worth taking in order to avoid distractions for the team. Content and quality are kings.
All our games are developed on the Unreal Engine™.
