About the Company
We are Wolcen Studio, an ambitious and expanding video game company headquartered in Nice, France, with talented employees across two European hubs (Nice and Bucharest) but we are also embracing the full remote option.

Formed in 2015 following the successful funding campaign of our first title, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, the company has subsequently grown from a handful of driven individuals to a full studio of 90 people. Our flagship title Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem was fully released in February 2020 and the studio has been supporting the game with content and updates since. A second studio, Wolcen East in Bucharest, Romania, was formed in September 2020 to help deliver our long-term plans for both the game and future projects.
