Mission Control Games was founded by industry veterans Kıvanç Okutur (CEO) and Murat Gürel (CTO) from the Merge Dragons team to build novel experiences in the casual puzzle genre. Headquartered across London and Istanbul, the studio aims to explore new design approaches and create original sub-genres rather than replicate existing formats. The team emphasizes speed and iteration to rapidly test and refine concepts, and plans to leverage emerging capabilities in artificial intelligence to make games that "feel alive." The company has stated an ambition to become the largest mobile gaming company with the smallest team. With the $4 million pre-seed raise, Mission Control Games will expand its headcount and accelerate development of its first title.
