Overview
Odyssey Interactive is an independent game development studio founded by former Riot Games leads. Its debut title, Omega Strikers, is a free-to-play competitive 3v3 knockout striker that launched an Open Beta on PC in September 2022 and has earned positive reception from players. The studio has been operating the game as a live service, shipping three new strikers in the first month and issuing balance changes in response to feedback. Odyssey plans a full launch in February 2023 with native controls and full cross-play and cross-progression across PC, mobile devices, and consoles. The team says it will add new arenas, limited-time modes, and small-scale tournament opportunities leading into launch. The studio emphasizes its experience running live service games as a core competency. Odyssey Interactive is a Kitchener, Canada–based game studio founded by former Riot Games developers that is prototyping accessible-but-competitive mobile games. The team aims to build emotionally engaging mobile titles that create a positive cultural impact and become a "game that you live." The company has not announced a specific game and is currently testing a bundle of ideas in a prototype phase. Investors provided $6 million in funding, giving the studio runway to develop several games rather than a single project. Founders plan modest hiring—adding four to five people initially and targeting around eight to 10 by year-end, with a possible expansion to about 20 by the end of 2021. The leadership emphasizes small, fast-moving "ninja" teams and cites their Riot Games pedigree and prior work on Teamfight Tactics and League of Legends projects as core strengths.
