About Us

Slipgate Ironworks is a game development studio located in Aalborg, Denmark. We’re comprised of industry veterans and talents, having worked on both indie and AAA titles for the past 2 decades. Our first title was the critically acclaimed „Rise of the Triad”. Rise of the Triad was released in 2013, and was considered by many as the birth of the modern retro shooter.

Since then, we’ve been involved in a range of games, including Rad Rodgers, Ion Fury, and Ghostrunner. Most recently we’re known for being the studio behind the critically acclaimed Tempest Rising and Phantom Fury.

Slipgate Ironworks is built on a strong foundation of veteran developers who all share the same vision; “We only work on games we’d play ourselves”

We are our own worst critics and we share a deep understanding of what makes certain games „Tick”. We all come from a background of hard-core first person shooters and we all share a deep knowledge of how games of the past have influenced generations. Some might even call us old-school.

Alongside our internal projects, Slipgate Ironworks also provides a range of services! We have more than a decade of experience with a range of different engines, most noteworthy, Unreal Engine 4 and 5. Several of our developers have experience working at Epic and on core engine features.

Several of our artists, animators, and designers also have extensive experience working with a range of games, all the way from from indie-titles to AAA.

At Slipgate Ironworks we provide a range of services, to allow our team to dive into exciting third-party projects whenever we have the possibility to take in external projects. These services include development assistance in terms of Level Design, Art, Animation, Visual Effects, Technical Design and Programming.

We also have a world-class team with a lot of experience porting to PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

We have experience with a range of engines. From classic engines like BUILD from the mid 90’s to modern engines such as CryEngine and Unreal Engine 5. All of our ports are of high quality, they’re fast performing and we work with every modern platform.
