Company
A small team in Cyprus that takes the survival genre out of the zombie apocalypse and into real history, then runs each game for years with its players.
Story
Colossi Games was founded in 2020 in Limassol, Cyprus by three veterans of the free-to-play era, with credits at Nexters, Game Insight, Nival and Mail.ru. The founding idea was simple: survival games had been stuck with zombies for a decade, and history had better stories.
Gladiators: Survival in Rome launched in February 2022 as the first social survival game on mobile. Daisho: Survival of a Samurai followed in June 2023, Vinland Tales: Viking Survival in November 2024. Gladiators and Daisho were picked for Google Play's Best of 2022 and Best of 2023.
We like being small. Everyone here ships work they can be proud of and has a real say in how the games grow. The games are living products: updated every few weeks, run together with their communities, and still growing years after launch. The studio works from Paphos, Cyprus.
