Description

Founded in 2014, Thunder Lotus is a maker of beautifully powerful games. The studio’s first creation, ​Jotun, released to critical and commercial success on Steam in 2015 and on consoles the next year. Sundered, Thunder Lotus Games’ sophomore creation, will be released in July 2017 on PC/Mac/Linux and PlayStation 4.

History

After quitting his job in January 2014, Will Dubé and friends brought Jotun to Kickstarter in July of the same year. Raising over $64,000 from 2,299 backers, Jotun was also Greenlit in under a week. The success of the Kickstarter campaign consolidated the team and the vision and allowed the developer to get additional funding from the Canadian Media Fund and the Montreal Inc Foundation. Jotun released on Steam in September 2015, and on consoles the next year. Sundered, Thunder Lotus Games’ sophomore creation, will be released in July 2017 on PC/Mac/Linux and PlayStation 4.
