I don't game much anymore, but Canadian devs shouldn't be ignored.

On mobile, Rebuild 3 is developed in Canada. Of course, Death Road to Canada was dreamed up by abguy from Kitchener Ontario and it kicks ass!

On all major platforms Ubisoft has some awesome games from their Canadian studios like the Farcry series (Ubisoft Montreal & Ubisoft Toronto), Rainbow Six Seige, For Honor, and Watch Dogs.

Dead by Daylight is also developed by a Canadian game studio.

Share your favourite Canadian developers and game studios!

Rimworld is created by Tynan Sylvester, who lives in Ottawa. Fantastic colony sim game that still gets consistent and major updates alongside the DLC releases.
Torn Banner Studios, creators of Chivalry and Chivalry 2, the Medieval multiplayer combat games are also Based in Toronto. They recently declared Chiv 2 to be a completed game, ceasing anynew content updates but still supporting the servers and community. They seem to be cooking up something new, but no info yet.
Hinterland Studios, creators of The Long Dark, a survival game, are based in Vancouver. The game is slower paced with realistic survival mechanics in rural north BC I believe. It's not abandoned, but updates very slowly. Cool devs though.

All of these games have active dev and fan communities. Rimworld has a SUPER talented & stable modding community.

RimWorld is one of my favorite games ever

I've been playing Rimworld for years and I'm just now finding out that it's a Canadian dev. I'm ashamed of myself.

Same! I've got 3,250 hours on it. Tynan really keeps it on the down low that he is based in Canada!

It's strange, somehow nearly all of my favourite games are Canadian made. Despite being disconnected from Canada by living in the US for over a decade, so many of my favourite musicians, games, movies and even youtubers are Canadian. Stuff Canadians make just appeals to me more often than not, and it makes me feel fuzzy and like I'm still Canadian despite being gone for so long. So excited to move back this year.

Once a Canadian, always a Canadian^*^. It's in our DNA.

Oh man, how did I forget The Long Dark?? I was a very early access player of the game! One of the coolest survival games around. TLD 2 is also coming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I think I've played TLD twice as much as any other game ever, and it's not close. We're talking maybe upwards of a thousand hours at this point; it's my factorio.

Highly recommend it if you like survival games! Or just like Survivorman lmao (who is also Canadian, coincidentally. He's got a great YouTube channel for those unaware)

Dude Sam, I I actually just installed it again the other day but I haven't played it yet. It was such a fun game though.

Digital Extremes, the company behind Warframe, is based in London Ontario and has a yearly convention there every July.
