Rogue Initiative Studios: Cinematic Worlds. Interactive Experiences.

Crowe: The Drowned Armory, a towering armored machine looms over a lone figure holding a light in a misty forest

Story + Design + Technology

Rogue Initiative is an entertainment studio built at the intersection of cinematic storytelling, interactive experiences and emerging technology, where award-winning filmmakers, AAA game developers and veteran technologists create multi-concept entertainment for film and games.

IP without borders

Most IP is built for one medium and later wedged into another. We develop the story, business structure and production technology together, architecting every layer in unison so properties are ready for film, games and short-form media, and primed for community dialog and engagement.
