HEY THERE!
We’re New Star Games, a small but experienced development team with a track record of high-quality titles across many platforms over many years. We’ve had a string of successes on mobile and Switch with the New Star and Retro games, and the sensational Retro Bowl being the #1 app on the US App Store.
Our team boasts the super-talented Simon Read, the man behind the original New Star Soccer, and a collection of industry veterans who’ve worked at major studios on titles such as the Worms series (Team17), Lemmings (Team17), Call of Duty: Strike Team (Activision), Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar), and the Grand Theft Auto series (Rockstar).
We mostly develop retro sports-RPG games in which fun, simplicity, and surprising depth is the focus.
