Our History

The story of WhiteMoon Dreams begins at a kitchen table in 2007. Around this table are industry veterans who have decided to take the leap from their larger, corporate studios and chart their own course. The dream is to establish an independent studio, operating from a place of passion above all else. It’s only directive is to make fun, creative and beautiful games – and to do right by the players it serves. No politics, no overlords, just magic.

So, a studio was born and games were made. The core team would come to involve key players from successful franchises like: Fallout, Ratchet and Clank, Medal of Honor and MLB The Show to name a few. Our work over the years has certainly been diverse, but the one thing that bonds our projects across the board is our love for working with cutting edge technology. WhiteMoon Dreams shipped one of the first titles ever to be built in Unreal Engine 4, we developed a 6 degrees of freedom VR shooter for Sony’s PSVR and we’re currently pushing the envelope on Location Based VR experiences. The truth is, we love a good challenge. What might scare others excites us. Also, we’re nerds, so this kind of stuff is our idea of fun.

Here is some of what we’ve done in the past, and we’re really excited about what comes next!
