What Blank Game Studios does

Blank Game Studios (legal entity: Blank Sp. z o.o.) is a privately held Polish video game development studio headquartered in Warsaw, founded in 2023 by a team of nearly 20 developers. The founding core consists of veterans from three of Poland's most prominent studios: CD Projekt Red (The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077), Techland (Dying Light), and 11 bit studios (Frostpunk). The studio's stated mission is to craft narrative-driven, emotionally impactful games built by a small team with high creative autonomy, deliberately choosing a leaner structure than the large AAA studios where its founders previously worked.

The studio is currently in early-stage development of its first, as-yet-unannounced title for console (PlayStation, Xbox) and PC platforms. Technology stack is described only at a high level as industry-standard game engines and development tools, with no proprietary platform architecture disclosed; no product has shipped, no app exists in major storefronts, and no API or SDK products are offered. Marketing and community engagement are limited to organic social media (aggregated at @blankgamestudios) and direct email contact, while all distribution and publishing responsibilities sit with partner publishers.

The business model is single-stream: the studio develops games and licenses them to publishing partners in exchange for development funding and post-launch royalty participation. The company raised $17 million in strategic corporate funding from South Korean publisher Neowiz (developer of Lies of P) in 2025, which also serves as its anchor publishing partner under Neowiz's stated strategy of publishing at least two external titles annually. Revenue is therefore pre-revenue today and will be generated in a one-time license / royalty model upon the first title's release on Neowiz-distributed console and PC channels. The studio does not sell directly to end consumers and pricing is determined by the publisher at launch. End customers are console and PC gaming audiences seeking high-quality, narrative-rich entertainment experiences.

Direct peers

• 11 bit studios: Polish narrative-focused game developer (Frostpunk, This War of Mine) based in Warsaw. Directly comparable as a mid-sized Polish studio with similar narrative ambitions and prior developers on Blank's team came from 11 bit's Frostpunk.
• Bloober Team: Polish game developer (The Medium, Silent Hill 2 remake) headquartered in Krakow. Comparable as a Polish studio of similar size producing narrative-driven premium titles for console/PC, with publishing partnerships for global distribution.
• People Can Fly: Polish game developer (Outriders, Bulletstorm) based in Warsaw. Comparable as a Polish studio of similar headcount range developing premium action/shooter titles for global publishing partners on console/PC.
• Flying Wild Hog: Polish game developer (Shadow Warrior series) based in Warsaw. Comparable as a Polish mid-sized studio developing premium action titles for PC and console with veteran developers and external publishing partnerships.
• The Farm 51: Polish game developer (Chernobylite, Get Even) based in Gliwice. Comparable as a smaller Polish developer producing narrative-driven premium titles, often working with external publishing partners for distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Techland: Polish game developer (Dying Light, Dead Island) based in Wroclaw. Comparable as a Polish premium developer, but significantly larger than Blank and self-publishes; several of Blank's founders came from Techland's Dying Light team.
• CD Projekt Red: Polish AAA developer (The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077) based in Warsaw. Comparable as a Warsaw-based premium game developer targeting console/PC, but vastly larger and self-publishing; Blank's founders came from CDPR's Witcher and Cyberpunk teams.
• Devolver Digital: Indie game publisher with portfolio of premium indie titles on console/PC. Comparable as a publishing partner archetype for studios like Blank, though Devolver works with many indie developers rather than being a direct studio peer.

Regional players

• CI Games: Polish game developer and publisher (Sniper Ghost Warrior, Lords of the Fallen) headquartered in Warsaw. Comparable as a Warsaw-based premium game developer, though more focused on action and self-publishing some titles.

Others

• Neowiz: South Korean publisher (Lies of P) and Blank's $17M strategic investor. Listed here as ecosystem participant rather than competitor, since Neowiz serves as Blank's publishing and distribution partner rather than a peer developer.
