2025 = yet another great year at MLC Studio!
T’was spent working with even more seriously awesome studios, supporting a huge range of projects and helping a whole tonne of games to demo, launch and beyond. Over the year, we’ve supported around 97 game dev studios, worked across dozens of active projects and were involved in shipping at least 11 games – almost 1 a month, which has been fantastic.
It’s been busy, energising and very rewarding – perfect ingredients!
Some 2025 Highlights
- Surpassing 100 five-star reviews
- Supporting ~97 studios across indie, AA and publishing projects
- Being involved in the shipment of 11 games (with many more still in development!)
- Continuing to build long-term partnerships, with a huge majority of studios coming back to us again
- Winning our second GamesIndustry.biz Best Places to Work Award
- Taking home x2 Global Entertainment Awards for Game Key Art – Global and Europe
- Being shortlisted for Creativepool’s Best Agency to Work For
- Launching the Global Games Alliance to support indie to AA game developers by offering a centralised hub for essential resources, tools, and exclusive industry deals. We have over 500 game dev users and many more plans for GGA in 2026!
Some teams needed short bursts of support, others wanted longer-term collaboration, and many changed as they went (because…game development). And that’s just how we like it!
We’re lucky to be able to partner with developers who care deeply about their games and value good collaboration. The conversations, the trust, the shared problem-solving. That’s the stuff that keeps us loving what we do.
MLC Studio Game Hall of Fame 2025
We partnered with over 90 developers and studios this year, which means we’ve had the opportunity to contribute to seriously awesome games, like the ones below. See if you feature!
The Team That Makes It Happen!
Behind every project is the MLC Studio team doing what they do best!
Across the year, our team supported a wide mix of styles, scopes and creative challenges. We share bits about our secret sauce all the time, largely around how retention and productivity aren’t luck, they’re built with approaches and principles that we know work. This is what helps us maintain a 98%+ retention rate, an award-winning culture and a motivated, long-standing art team – all within a fully remote setup.
Winning more awards this year for our team culture continues to be something we’re proud of (and something our dev partners really feel).
What’s In Store For MLC Studio 2026
So, what’s next for MLC Studio?
We always have lots of exciting updates to share with you throughout the year, and that’ll be no different in 2026!
There’s plenty already in motion, such as continuing to strengthen how we work, expanding how we support developers beyond art and building things that make collaboration smoother and more enjoyable. Some of that will be visible soon.
We’re excited and very ready for what’s next.
And that’s a wrap! Thanks again to our incredible team, and developer partners for supporting yet another fantastic year at MLC Studio.
Cheers to all the games that progressed, announced, launched, got published and/or succeeded this year.
Here’s to more game success in 2026!
