Day Off Interactive, a newly established studio in Ireland, specializes in developing games centered on strategy and simulation

A newly established studio specializing in "innovative strategy and simulation games" has made its debut in Dublin.

Among the founders of Day Off Interactive are veterans from Cities: Skylines and Life is Strange, including Karoliina Korppoo, serving as creative director, and Des Gayle, the head of production. The studio collaborates with a skilled team spread throughout Europe, working entirely remotely on a four-day schedule, reflecting the inspiration behind the studio's name.

Even though the official announcement was made on August 5, the studio has been operational since July 2024 in Ireland.

The studio aims to "honor the legacy of traditional game genres while advancing modern game design," putting significant focus on developing intelligent and responsive in-game characters.

The team also includes Colman Humphrey as technical director, Jayne Robinson as fractional marketing director, Ethan Grant as studio director and prodigy owner, and Karl Rabbitt as deputy studio director and designer. The studio is already engaging with "key contractors" for its projects.

Although Day Off Interactive has not yet revealed specifics about its first game, an official announcement is expected to be made in September 2025.
