Polish gamedevelopment studios are playing an increasingly important role in creating global gaming hits. Although they often work as subcontractors for foreign companies, their contributions and talent are invaluable. Here are a few examples of games that bear a Polish touch.
Disco Elysium – Knights of Unity
One such success story is the collaboration between the Wrocław-based studio Knights of Unity and developer ZA/UM on the game Disco Elysium. The Polish studio was responsible for interface design, localization, dialogues, character management, bug fixes, and game optimization. Their contribution proved to be so significant that the creators of Disco Elysium referred to them as the “Polish cavalry” who saved their production. The Knights of Unity are also the only Polish studio to possess replicas of the prestigious The Game Awards, which their game received.
Dark Souls: Remastered – QLOC
QLOC is a well-known player in the gamedevelopment industry. They specialize in supporting large projects such as localization, quality control, and game remasters. QLOC made a significant contribution to the remaster of Dark Souls, working on the refreshed version released on multiple platforms. Their involvement can also be seen in projects like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Dead Rising, Tales of Vesperia, and Ni no Kuni.
Divinity: Original Sin II – Anshar Studios and Fool’s Theory
The collaboration between Polish studios Anshar Studios and Fool’s Theory with Belgian studio Larian Studios resulted in the creation of additional content for Divinity: Original Sin II. Anshar Studios was involved in the development of a series of mini expansions called Gift Bags, which offered players free items. Thanks to the trust from Larian Studios, Polish studios were able to develop a longer-lasting relationship and gain recognition in the industry.
Polish gamedevelopment studios demonstrate that they have great talent and potential to create global bestsellers. Their work is an indispensable element in the creation of games that gain recognition worldwide.
