About us
In the heart of every gamer lies a dream. For us, that dream was sparked by the worlds we explored in the boundless skies of Flight Simulator 98, the camaraderie we found in the trenches of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Battlefield, the mysteries we unraveled in Elden Ring, and the demons we battled in Diablo and Final Fantasy. These experiences, more than just games, were gateways to unimaginable adventures, teaching us, thrilling us, and ultimately inspiring us to dream bigger.
Thorbourn Games was born from this dream — a dream nurtured by a group of lifelong gamers who decided it was time to transition from players to creators, from admirers to architects of the very experiences that shaped our lives. Our journey began at the intersection of diverse paths: business, finance, software development, UX, and product design, each road leading us to this singular moment of creation.
But our story is more than a tale of convergence. It’s a narrative of timing and technology, of seizing the moment when the stars align — when the global gaming community is more vibrant than ever, and technological advances have removed barriers once thought insurmountable. With a team as geographically diverse as our backgrounds, stretching from the serene landscapes of Canada and the bustling cities of the US to the sun-kissed shores of Jamaica and the ancient pyramids of Cairo, Egypt, we’ve woven a tapestry of talent, each thread essential to the masterpiece we aim to create.
Our mission is ambitious, fueled by the belief that the next generation of gaming is not just within reach but ripe for revolution. With every line of code, every design sketch, and every story arc, we’re not just building games; we’re crafting worlds. Worlds that invite exploration, that challenge perceptions, and that unite players across the globe in shared adventures.
As we stand on the threshold of this new era, we invite you to join us on the journey. The road ahead is filled with challenges, but the promise of what lies beyond fuels our passion. We’re not just making games; we’re crafting the experiences of tomorrow, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
