Games
In January 2025, Bonfire Studios revealed its first game, Arkheron, after eight years of development. The live-service game focuses on player versus player combat with a top-down view, and it was built using the Unity game engine.[2] Alongside the game's announcement, Bonfire Studios began private playtesting.[3]
Prior to the game's announcement, studio head Rob Pardo described the game as a PC-focused release designed by letting staff brainstorm 40 original ideas, choosing the seven likeliest to succeed, and then voting on which of the fuller pitches to work on.[4][5]
