WHAT WE DO
Innovative Game Development: As a trail-blazing force in all realms of gaming with a unique specialty in AR / VR, we push the boundaries of what is possible in the digital world. Each of our games focuses on innovative gameplay experience and we carefully craft our portfolio with true attention to detail in every aspect, from the art and sound to the game design and narrative. Our design philosophy is rooted in curiosity and backed up by numbers.
OUR JOURNEY
A Studio Built on Passion: After getting laid-off from another gaming company in 2016, our founder Nate Chatellier launched Nerd Ninjas with a mission to push the boundaries of technology in gaming. Partnering with Niantic, he set out to create an innovative geospatial game that would break new ground. Nate assembled a team of incredibly talented and passionate creatives who are, at their core, avid gamers themselves. At Nerd Ninjas, we make games that we want to play. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with industry giants like Niantic, Meta, and others. With our keyboard-wielding, mouse-flipping, passion-fueled skills, we’ve thrived in both co-development and original creations.
