Airship Syndicate

Airship Syndicate is an independent video game development studio based in Austin, Texas. The studio was co-founded with the involvement of comic artist and game creator Joe Madureira, and its team has included developers associated with the Darksiders series. Its games commonly combine comic-book-inspired art with action, exploration, and role-playing systems. The studio first attracted broad attention with Battle Chasers: Nightwar, an adaptation of Madureira’s Battle Chasers comic that combines turn-based combat, dungeon exploration, and role-playing progression. It later developed Darksiders Genesis, which expanded the Darksiders property into an isometric action role-playing format, and Ruined King: A League of Legends Story in collaboration with Riot Games. Airship Syndicate subsequently worked on Wayfinder, an online action role-playing project. The studio is generally positioned around mid-sized games with distinctive visual direction, combat systems, and story-driven settings.
