INVEST IN ARCTIC7 · GAMING
The studio turning games into films, films into games, and stories into worlds that live everywhere.
Arctic7 helps game companies, film studios, and TV networks expand their stories across multiple platforms. We've worked on Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Marvel films, and many PC, console, and mobile games. Our founding team worked at Electronic Arts and were executives at Keywords Studios, the leading service company in gaming. Now we're applying our experience to what we believe is entertainment's largest growth opportunity – Transmedia – and already have significant traction, including collaborations with Disney, Microsoft, and Riot Games’ Hypixel Studios.

Our Story
Audiences want their favorite stories to exist across every screen. A game franchise becomes a TV series. A film expands into an interactive experience. The technology exists to make this happen, but most studios can't execute because they only understand one side of it.
Arctic7 is at the intersection of gaming, film production, and digital services tailored to the high-bandwidth needs of creative industries. We help IP holders expand their worlds across platforms without losing creative control or wasting money rebuilding assets. Our team has shipped AAA games for Microsoft, created virtual production environments for The Mandalorian (Narwhal Studios)*, and built digital infrastructure for major networks.
Members of our founding team previously co-founded Sperasoft, which was acquired by Keywords Studios in 2017. Following the acquisition, they held leadership roles at Keywords Studios during a period in which the company expanded through numerous acquisitions and reported significant revenue growth. Now, Arctic 7 is the same strategy applied to what we believe is a larger, less consolidated market.
*Narwhal Studios is a subsidiary of Arctic 7 which was acquired. The work referenced here was completed prior to Arctic 7 acquiring Narwhal Studios.
The Problem
Translating interactive IP to linear entertainment is problematic and often mishandled by IP owners, production companies, and distributors.
Our Solution
Arctic7 solves these problems by operating across all three domains: game development, film and TV production, and managed digital services. We bridge the creative disconnect, eliminate wasted resources, and protect brand integrity.
Transmedia Production
We guide IP holders through cross-platform expansion while maintaining creative control. We assess which stories work best across different media, develop production roadmaps, create visual and narrative frameworks, secure funding, and manage execution from concept to delivery. IP owners stay involved at every stage.
Our team speaks both languages fluently. We help partners expand their worlds without rebuilding from scratch, alienating fans, or losing what made the IP valuable in the first place.
Market Opportunity
Arctic7 operates where three industries converge into a connected entertainment ecosystem.
Why We Believe the Timing Is Right
Audiences are driving the change. 52% of Gen Z and millennial gamers now play a video game after watching a related TV show or film (source). Studios are responding by adopting game technology for film production. For example, Disney's Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) used Unreal Engine, a game development tool, to create the virtual environments for The Mandalorian. That approach is now becoming the industry standard.
This technology shift is accelerating across the entertainment industry. Game engines now power film and TV production at major studios, while franchises increasingly launch across multiple platforms simultaneously to meet audience expectations. Streaming services rely on transmedia strategies to keep viewers engaged between releases, creating sustained demand for companies that can execute across games, film, and digital media.
The Transmedia opportunity with Industry Examples
When franchises expand successfully across platforms, the results are measurable. Some of the most recognizable entertainment ecosystems today are transmedia franchises:
- The Witcher - Netflix's series drove significant renewed interest in CD Projekt's game franchise, bringing new players to titles released years earlier and expanding the audience far beyond gaming.
- Cyberpunk 2077 - The anime series Edgerunners generated a surge in player activity, with concurrent player counts jumping significantly and the game re-entering sales charts months after its original launch.
- Fallout - Amazon Prime's series premiere drove a resurgence in players across the entire game franchise, with older titles seeing renewed sales and active player counts reaching all-time highs.
- League of Legends - Riot Games' Arcane on Netflix introduced millions of non-gamers to the franchise, expanding the audience while deepening engagement with existing players through coordinated in-game events.
- The Last of Us - HBO's adaptation drove significant sales of the original PlayStation titles years after release, proving that well-executed transmedia can extend franchise lifecycles and reach new demographics.
- Star Wars - Decades of coordinated storytelling across films, games, books, and streaming have built one of the most valuable entertainment properties in history.
These franchises didn't just expand for brand awareness. Each platform drove measurable business results for the others, creating compounding value that single-format entertainment struggles to match.
Why This Matters Now
The demand for premium content is rising, but so is the competition for audience attention. Games, streaming, social platforms, and digital ecosystems are converging. As this happens, we believe the next generation of breakout franchises will not come from one format; they will be designed to live everywhere from the start.
That is the transmedia opportunity: to build connected entertainment worlds that grow across platforms, deepen fan investment, and stay relevant for years.
