About Offworld:

Offworld Industries Ltd. (Offworld) is the independent studio behind the successful military first-person shooter game, “Squad”. Offworld was formed in 2014 by more than 15 developers who had worked together on the well known Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2. The founding purpose of the team was to bring a standalone successor of this acclaimed mod to market and build a game development studio and a livelihood from that foundation.

Fast forward to 2026, Offworld has over 140 employees and is rapidly growing. We have been expanding the studio into serving as a publisher supporting mods and recently released our title "Starship Troopers: Extermination", a 16-player PvE first-person shooter based on the 1997 cult-classic film.
