Barcelona’s Dark Ritual Studios Forms to Focus on Craft, Not Scale
A group of ex-Ubisoft Barcelona developers led by Myles Kerwin launches Dark Ritual Studios in Barcelona to pursue a lean, experienced team with clear creative ownership and faster decision-making, embracing craftsmanship over scale. Their first game, Puzzle Mage, a dark fantasy PC title set for 2027, has funding secured and has already surpassed 1,000 Steam wishlists. The studio is evaluating self-publishing versus partnering with a publisher amid industry uncertainty.
