While we predominantly talk about Remedy, the most important aspect of the studio is the developers, both present and past. This week, Mainframe Industries announced the launch of their new company with two studios across two countries sharing the unique goal of developing an MMO for the cloud gaming allowing for cross-platform play.
There are thirteen developers working across the two studios.

The team based in Reykjavík (Iceland) are Reynir Hardarson (ex-CCP Games), Börkur Eiríksson (ex-CCP Game), Börkur Eiríksson (ex-CCP Games), Kjartan Pierre Emilsson (ex-CCP and Sólfar Studios), Fridrik Haraldsson (ex-Skientia ehf), Kristján Valur Jónsson (ex-RVX), Vigfús Ómarsson , and Jón Helgi Thórarinsson. Serving as the company CEO is Thor Gunnarsson.
In addition to forming a talented team, the company has already secured funding of two million euros from investors included Maki.vc, Play Ventures, Crowberry Capital, and Sisu Game Ventures.
We're excited to see what they do next!
