Independent since 2009
DigitalDNA Games is an independent studio based in Seattle with a history of chart-topping titles. Our breakout hit CastleMiner Z became the best-selling indie game on Xbox 360 with more than two million players. Since then we have shipped over sixteen titles across console and PC and sold more than five million copies worldwide.
Today the team is building CastleMiner Z: Resurrection, a modern remake of the original built in Unreal Engine 5, backed by a group of industry veterans who have shipped games since the 1990s.
We make games that last: accessible, replayable, and built around communities that keep playing long after launch.
