LIVE IN.
CyberBlade Studios is an independent game developer obsessed with one thing: creating spaces that feel truly alive. Founded in 2019, we've built one of the most reactive open-world RPGs ever made — and we're just getting started.

— OUR MANIFESTO —
"We don't make games. We build cities that have the audacity to exist without you."
Every NPC in New Kyoto has a schedule. Every faction remembers what you did last week. The rain changes the acoustics of the streets. We believe a world should feel like it was there before you arrived — and will be there
after you leave.
HISTORY
THE ROAD TO
NEW KYOTO
2019
Studio Founded
Three friends from different game studios quit their jobs and started building New Kyoto from a rented apartment in São Paulo. First prototype ran on two laptops duct-taped together.
2021
Seed Round & First Trailer
Raised $4.2M from independent investors. The reveal trailer went viral overnight — 8 million views in 48 hours. The team grew to 40 people
in six months.
2023
Early Access Launch
CyberBlade launched in Early Access with 3 districts and the base hacking system. 500,000 players in week one. Critics called it "the most ambitious indie debut since Hollow Knight."
2025 — NOW
Full Launch — 2M+ Players
Full 1.0 release across PC, PS5, Xbox. 12 districts, 6 factions, 200+ hacks. Season 2 is live. The city never sleeps.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
THREE PILLARS
Worlds Over Levels
We don't build levels. We build neighborhoods. Every space in New Kyoto exists as part of a coherent, living ecosystem — not a set-piece designed around a checkpoint.
Player Agency First
Every major system in CyberBlade was designed backwards — starting with what the player should be able to do, not what the engine can handle. If a player can imagine it, we try to make it possible.
Free. Forever.
No paywalls. No pay-to-win. CyberBlade is free to play in every meaningful sense. Cosmetics fund the studio so we can keep building. The city belongs to the players.

We're hiring across
engineering, art & design.
