I don’t game much anymore, but Canadian devs shouldn’t be ignored.
On mobile, Rebuild 3 is developed in Canada. Of course, Death Road to Canada was dreamed up by abguy from Kitchener Ontario and it kicks ass!
On all major platforms Ubisoft has some awesome games from their Canadian studios like the Farcry series (Ubisoft Montreal & Ubisoft Toronto), Rainbow Six Seige, For Honor, and Watch Dogs.
Dead by Daylight is also developed by a Canadian game studio.
Share your favourite Canadian developers and game studios!

rainbow sox :D 🌈 🧦
LOL. oops. Corrected!
I had no idea this was Canadian! Seems like Canadian game devs are really making top notch games.
This games Canadian? Last month I sunk so much time into it. Great game.
Balatro is Canadian?! Well shit, I already bought it like 4 times for various platforms.

Rimworld is created by Tynan Sylvester, who lives in Ottawa. Fantastic colony sim game that still gets consistent and major updates alongside the DLC releases.
-
Torn Banner Studios, creators of Chivalry and Chivalry 2, the Medieval multiplayer combat games are also Based in Toronto. They recently declared Chiv 2 to be a completed game, ceasing anynew content updates but still supporting the servers and community. They seem to be cooking up something new, but no info yet.

Hinterland Studios, creators of The Long Dark, a survival game, are based in Vancouver. The game is slower paced with realistic survival mechanics in rural north BC I believe. It’s not abandoned, but updates very slowly. Cool devs though.
All of these games have active dev and fan communities. Rimworld has a SUPER talented & stable modding community.
RimWorld is one of my favorite games ever
Oh man, how did I forget The Long Dark?? I was a very early access player of the game! One of the coolest survival games around. TLD 2 is also coming.
I think I’ve played TLD twice as much as any other game ever, and it’s not close. We’re talking maybe upwards of a thousand hours at this point; it’s my factorio.
Highly recommend it if you like survival games! Or just like Survivorman lmao (who is also Canadian, coincidentally. He’s got a great YouTube channel for those unaware)
Dude Sam, I I actually just installed it again the other day but I haven’t played it yet. It was such a fun game though.
Digital Extremes, the company behind Warframe, is based in London Ontario and has a yearly convention there every July.

Drinkbox Studio (Guacamelee 1 & 2, Nobody Saves the World), Capybara Games (Sword & Sworcery, Super Time Force Ultra, Below, Grindstone), and Thunder Lotus (Spiritfarer) are Canadian as well, to name a few.
I was so about to name drop Drinkbox too, I always found it weird Guacamelee is Canadian.
I’ll throw in a mention for Tunic.
Wildkeepers Rising, its part of Steam Next Fest, and out next month. Super small studio, one of the main devs is a childhood friend.
Celeste.
Outward - Nine Dots Studio - Quebec. As a big Morrowind fan, I love Outward
warframe is made in london.
1000XResist is by Canadian devs if weird not-quite-visual-novel-but-close games are your jam (eg paradise killer, mouthwashing).
Northern Forge Studios
Mobile ORNA: The GPS RPG
Old school style rpg with a GPS element like ingress/Pokémon Go. Pvp and Pve elements.
Absolutely! To add to this… Buy Stalker 2.
cuphead is canadian too
The upcoming Pathfinder 2E CRPG, Dragon’s Demand, is being developed by Ossian Studios, based in Vancouver.
