We exist to make the best game for players.

Rebellion Studio is a young, fast-moving studio with a big ambition. Our first game, Beyond the King's Words, is a medieval grand strategy game where you rule through a council that argues, remembers and sometimes betrays.

Our first game

Beyond the

King's Words

You are forty, newly crowned, and your father has left you a realm that is intact, solvent and quietly rotten. Your half-brother wants the throne. The granaries are running low. Riders are gathering in the west. Rule for sixty years through the people around your table, and find out what your word is worth.

Genre: Story-led grand strategy
You play: By giving orders in your own words, or by taking your ministers' advice
Status: In development. The prologue is playable in-house.

Who we are

Young. Agile. Ambitious.

Three words we hold ourselves to, and what each one means in practice.

Young

We are a new team, and we play the games we make. We remember what made us fall for strategy games and what drove us away from them. Both shape every decision we take.

Founded 2026

Agile

Small team, short loops. Every change runs through an automated test suite before it lands, and there is a playable build every day. When something isn't fun, we fix it this week.

Ambitious

We aren't aiming for good enough. We want characters who feel alive, choices with real weight, and a world that looks finished in every corner. Nothing placeholder ships.
