Melbot Studios

melbot.es ↗ ·Barcelona ·Other

Melbot Studios is an independent Spanish video game developer founded in 2017, known first for the Melbits IP (hybrid physical toy + video game entertainment for kids, including Melbits World on PS4/Switch) and now for GodsTV, a madcap 'cartoon punk' top-down co-op roguelike ARPG built in UE5 and slated for release around 2026. The team is made up of veterans of titles such as Invizimals, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Apex Legends, Gris, Aragami and Endling, and the studio has never raised a conventional VC round — it has been supported by the Lanzadera accelerator, EU NextGenerationEU / Ministry of Culture grants and ICEX Next, plus a publishing/development-funding deal with Starbreeze Entertainment announced in 2023 that later fell apart. It is headquartered in Barcelona (C/ Llull 48, 08005).
