ThunderfulA 2.7 ThunderfulIn ancient times, high up in the north, there were three game developers called Image & Form, Zoink! and Guru Games. During the year of 2020, the stars aligned and they joined forces to form Thunderful Development and later that year, the Station joined the family. A while later, Thunderful Games was formed and more siblings were acquired; Stage Clear in Madrid, Coatsink in Gateshead, Headup in Düren, Robot Teddy, and the two Swedish studios To the Sky and Early Morning Studios. Today, we've got several amazing indie and AA games in the making in some of Europe's finest game studios. We're also working with publishing and investment.
