Studio Expansion: Welcome BSG Colombia

Blind Squirrel Games has expanded its global presence by acquiring Distributed Development, a Colombian game studio, which will now operate as Blind Squirrel Games Colombia. This move strengthens Blind Squirrel's footprint with teams already in the U.S. and New Zealand, creating an international network aimed at cost-effective AAA game development. The new studio in Manizales, Colombia, will initially focus on co-development, with plans to grow to 25-30 employees by 2025.

The acquisition also enhances Blind Squirrel's creative capabilities, particularly through the integration of its proprietary AI tool for Unreal Engine. This tool is designed to improve project efficiency and streamline development, helping the company deliver high-quality game experiences while optimizing resources. The addition of the Colombian studio is part of Blind Squirrel's strategy to continue scaling its development efforts and tapping into new talent pools globally.

Pushing the Boundaries of Creativity with Sony’s mocopi

At Blind Squirrel Games, we’re always on the lookout for new ways to push the boundaries of creativity, innovation, and—most importantly—fun. That’s why we’re thrilled to be among the first studios experimenting with Sony’s revolutionary mocopi professional mode for our newest IP, Cosmorons. Traditional motion capture setups often require expensive equipment and specialized studios, making it difficult for smaller studios to access this powerful tool, but mocopi breaks down those barriers, giving developers the power to bring characters to life with ease, flexibility, and accessibility.

At BSG, we’re driven by a passion for crafting immersive, unforgettable experiences. We believe that every game should be a playground of creativity, where players connect with expressive characters, fluid animations, and worlds brimming with personality. Our commitment to innovation pushes us to explore new tools and techniques that make our games more dynamic, engaging, and—above all—fun. No matter the challenge, Blind Squirrel Games finds new ways to raise the bar and deliver experiences that surprise and delight players.
