Realmforge Studios GmbH

Realmforge Studios is a German development studio of which the formation was announced on 14th November 2008. It was launched by the publishing company Kalypso Media and the development studio Boxed Dreams, but it was largely funded by Kalypso Media which is also the majority shareholder. At its launch, Boxed Dreams was still completing its PC title Ceville, but the ten members of the development team were absorbed into the new studio.

After the adventure game Ceville in 2009 the team released the quirky TV station management game M.U.D. TV: Mad Ugly Dirty Television in 2010. In 2011 a new franchise was launched with Dungeons, a dungeon management game similar to the Dungeon Keeper series, but with the goal of making the heroes happy. The series would continue on into the 2020s, and is still active. The studio would also revive the Startopia IP with Spacebase Startopia in 2021.

Next to original development projects, the team contributed to other game productions, notably in the Patrician IV: Conquest by Trade, and has taken over post-launch maintenance and DLC development for Tropico 6 from Limbic Entertainment on 3 December 2020.
