Stunlock Studios is a Swedish video game developer based out of Skövde, Sweden,[1] who was responsible for the development of the MOBA game Dead Island: Epidemic.

Overview[]

Stunlock Studios was founded in 2010 in Skövde, Sweden, though they had been creating games since the year prior, 2009.[2] They released their first game, Bloodline Champions, in 2011, and a few years later on 7th August 2014, Deep Silver announced a partnership with them to create a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) spin-off game set in the Dead Island series. Describing it as a ZOMBA (Zombie Online Multiplayer Battle Arena), it was to be set in the Banoi Archipelago and by 2015 it has entered open beta on Steam. Despite getting continuous updates, patches, fixes and content, in September 2015, Deep Silver announced that Epidemic was being shut down and its servers going offline.

After Epidemic was concluded, Stunlock Studios continued to develop games, notably their biggest and most well known series Battlerite in 2017, which got a sequel just a year later in 2018 titled Battlerite Royale. In 2022, Stunlock Studios brought a new game into early access, titled V Rising.
