Introducing Soulbound Studios

Founded in 2015 by industry veterans Jeromy Walsh and Eddie Smith, Soulbound Studios is a growing team of talented game developers that have banded together to create something truly inspiring. By challenging what it means to be fun, re-imagining what is possible, and re-defining "immersive", Soulbound Studios aims to create games unlike anything ever seen before. But this passion for creating groundbreaking games isn't just what we do, it's who we are. It's part of us. It's Soulbound.

Running a successful game company is like running a successful guild. It takes a leader that can attract strong talent, selfless, dedicated officers, a shared vision of success, and a commitment by all members to push for the betterment of the team. But more than anything, it takes a group of like-minded individuals who want to do it all, see it all, and face all challenges – together.
