Thunderful Gothenburg, a studio that prides itself on its innovative approach to game development, is proud to announce its rebranding as Stormteller Games.
This transformation marks a new chapter in the studio’s journey centered on the team’s deep-rooted passion for crafting innovative, immersive gaming experiences that resonate with players worldwide.
The name emerged from a collaborative effort within the studio, drawing inspiration from Gothenburg’s seaside industrial heritage and its famously turbulent weather. The moniker reflects not only the city’s character but also the studio’s ambition to craft powerful, gameplay-driven experiences, while also maintaining a meaningful connection to Thunderful.
The studio has been around since the merger between Image & Form and Zoink! Games in 2017 and consists of 25 veteran game developers.
Stormteller Games is led by Johan Petersson, who brings over 25 years of experience in development, management and leadership to the team. Previously at EA, Petersson played a key role in the development of AAA franchises including Need for Speed, FIFA, Madden and Battlefield, while leading teams across Europe and the US.
Becoming Stormteller Games is an exciting milestone that has unified and energized our team. We wanted a name that encapsulates both our origins and our aspirations. Stormteller Games represents our dedication to telling compelling stories through games that leave a lasting impact on players – Johan Petersson, Studio Head
Stormteller Games’ immediate focus is on launching its first game under the new banner. Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in Summer 2025.
