What The Breach Studios does

The Breach Studios (legal entity: SUPER TEAMS MOBILE S.L.) is a Barcelona-based game development studio founded in 2018 that operates a hybrid services-plus-IP business model. The studio sells three tiers of professional services — Work-for-Hire Projects, Co-Development, and Consultancy — to game studios, publishers, and indie teams, offering end-to-end Unreal Engine development spanning engineering, multiplayer systems, game design, and art production. Marquee clients whose logos appear on its website include Epic Games, LaLiga (for which it built the official LaLiga Top Cards collectible football game on a work-for-hire basis), Messi, Qatar, and My.Games.

Its underlying technical capability centers on Unreal Engine-based game development with deep specialization in multiplayer systems (cooperative and PvP), 3rd-person hero-shooter open-world design, and open-world survival/crafting systems. The ~26-person team is led by three founders — Ferran Puntí (CEO), Jordi Guerrero (CTO), and Ivan Magrans (Producer), all with prior experience at Ubisoft, Take-Two, and Gameloft — supported by four functional leads in Game Direction, Art Direction, Unreal Development, and Tech Art.

On the IP side, The Breach Studios maintains a pipeline of proprietary and co-developed titles: Project ST (free-to-play multiplayer party shooter in Steam alpha, recognized with a 'Best Art' accolade), Westlanders (Wild West open-world survival/crafting game in development, on Steam wishlist), The Harvest (3rd-person hero shooter original IP that has been sold), and LaLiga Top Cards (work-for-hire deliverable for LaLiga). The studio's own IP is distributed directly via Steam, while services are sold through direct enterprise engagement. In September 2021, My.Games Venture Capital (MGVC), the corporate investment arm of My.Games (Mail.ru Group), invested over €3.5 million (~30% equity, with an option for control) and signed a cooperation agreement for joint projects, providing both growth capital and a strategic publisher alignment.

Core offering

The Breach Studios provides end-to-end game development services for studios and publishers through three tiers: Work-for-Hire Projects (single features to full modules), Co-Development (embedded collaboration with internal client teams), and Consultancy (technical, creative and strategic guidance). Specializations span Unreal Engine engineering, multiplayer systems, game design, and art production, with clients retaining full IP ownership. The studio also develops and self-publishes proprietary game IP including Westlanders, Project ST, and LaLiga Top Cards, and has previously sold original IP The Harvest to another party.

Product overview

The Breach Studios operates as a multi-project game development studio and services provider rather than a single unified SaaS product. Its portfolio combines in-house game development — Westlanders (open-world Wild West survival game, in development), Project ST (multiplayer party shooter in alpha), The Harvest (3rd-person Hero Shooter, original IP sold), and LaLiga Top Cards (official LaLiga collectible football card game, work-for-hire) — alongside professional game development services for external studios and publishers. The in-house games constitute the studio's own IP and external projects, while the services arm (Work-for-Hire Projects, Co-Development, and Consultancy) leverages the same team's expertise in Unreal Engine, multiplayer systems, game design, and art production to integrate into client pipelines.
