Cold Iron is currently working on developing its first major action game for consoles and PC, and original sci-fi title developer using the Unreal 4 engine.

We’re working hard on a AAA online action game that is literally out of this world, and we cannot wait to share it with you.”

The developers at Cold Iron are experienced at creating and designing award-winning titles that span a variety of genres. This includes games like Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, Bioshock Infinite, Metroid Prime 3, DOOM, Atlas Reactor, Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate and the Borderlands franchise.
