Developer

Eleon Game Studios is an independent game studio developing “Empyrion – Galactic Survival.” We are professionals of game and/or software development where the average team member has more than 10 years of industry experience.

In 2013, we decided to embark on an adventure and start the development of a game that uniquely combines elements from space simulations, ego-shooters, construction games and survival games. We were always disappointed that space simulations do not offer the possibility to land on planets, while ego-shooters do not allow you to get on a spaceship, leave the planet and explore a vast galaxy. In addition, we like the gameplay offered by recent survival games as well as the freedom and creativity of games like Minecraft which allow you to design and build objects such as spaceships and bases freely.

Guided by our vision of creating a game that combines all of these elements, we started the development of “Empyrion – Galactic Survival.” Help us make that vision come true!
