Highlighting some of the new and notable projects happening across the Edmonton Region.
BioWare's legendary Edmonton studio was established in early 1995 by three doctors Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk, and Augustine Yip. They released their first game in 1996 and went on to release six more in the studio’s first ten years.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the popular HBO series The Last of Us was shot entirely in Alberta. Season one features scenes shot across the province, including in downtown Calgary, the Legislature Building in Edmonton, Fort Macleod, Canmore.
Inflexion Games, an innovative Edmonton-based studio, crafts immersive game worlds that tell stories, build communities, and inspire players. Their unique approach to game development creates dynamic experiences where player choices shape meaningful narratives and foster a sense of belonging.
Artificial Agency is building technology that allows agents in the game to interact with players more naturally and dynamically. These developments are not only changing the types of games being made but also enabling the creation of new types of games that aren’t yet possible.
