About Radical Forge
Radical Forge started out in 2017 when Bruce Slater and Freddie Babord decided to establish a studio where triple-A quality and ambition didn’t need to be separated from values of kindness, creativity, playfulness and authenticity. Since then Rad Forge has earned co-development credits on titles they properly admire. If you’ve played Gang Beasts or Zombie Army 4’s DLC, you’ve probably enjoyed some of their work. Radical Forge released their own IP, feline puzzler Bright Paw in 2020. In 2024, the studio will publish their next original IP, Southfield, funded by the Private Division Development Fund.
