Summary

Nørse Studio is a design-driven game development company creating narrative-rich indie games inspired by Nordic folklore and mythology. Based in Copenhagen's vibrant game district, our 30-person team blends hand-painted art with procedurally generated worlds.

Our debut title "Frosthollow" won Best Indie Game at Nordic Game Awards 2024 and sold over 500,000 copies. Our sophomore release "Saga of the Seiðr" is in development with Epic Games Publishing.

Beyond games, we run Nørse Academy — a free 12-week program teaching game design to underrepresented youth across Scandinavia. 85% of graduates have gone on to careers in the creative industries.
