We work with
today's greatest
game developers
to create worlds
of wonder.

Our team is tight and its skills are sharp. That’s the starting point for everything we do. People who care about each other and the work they’re producing as a collective. Work that is the very best in cutting-edge creative conceptualisation, visualisation, and realisation; projects that span the journey from drawing board to release, and beyond.

 

Founded in 2009, Atomhawk has 15 years of experience in answering the creative needs of teams at leading game development studios, including the likes of Activision, Microsoft, NetherRealm, 2K, EA, Sony and WB Games.

With a team of over 60 artists, designers and technical specialists across Canada and the UK, and physical offices in Gateshead and Leamington Spa, UK, we partner with the games industry to deliver ideas from concept to launch and beyond in a flexible and collaborative manner.

Our goal always being to make the unbelievable, believable.

Our clients trust us to deliver great stuff on time, every time. That trust is valuable, so we look after it with the highest standard of planning and precision. We don’t just stay up to date, we stay a step ahead, in the know and open to learning more.

We want to do the best work of our lives today, and then again tomorrow. Each of us brings something unique to the process. We’re a large team so we can deliver brilliance at scale. We have diverse talent, diverse experience, diverse skills, and that expansive range is what lets us articulate incredible ideas in a multitude of unbelievable ways.

Our Locations

Gateshead, UK

In the centre of North East England’s art scene, on the Gateshead quayside, the studio is flanked by galleries and theatres, live music venues, pulsing nightlife, and eclectic shopping. Newcastle’s three minutes on foot, the beach is 15 minutes by Metro, and (it’s a cliché but it’s true) the people are super friendly.

Vancouver, Canada

In the heart of Vancouver, where the skyscrapers are overshadowed only by snow-topped mountains, our studio sits amid bars and restaurants, art, and music venues. Known for its sheer liveability, the seaport city boasts an enviable mix of urban refinement and the awe-inspiring natural world.

Leamington Spa, UK

Wide boulevards, stunning architecture and award-winning parks provide a sophisticated backdrop to this Regency town. Leamington Spa combines a treasure-trove of independent, specialist boutiques alongside high street brands and a huge variety of eating experiences.

“We worked with Atomhawk developing a range of concept material for the Apple Design Award winning ‘Little Orpheus’. They always come through for us, and are a pleasure to work with – and the results were terrific as always!”
