Big news from 1518 Studios: As a trusted game art studio serving global partners for nearly a decade, we've helped bring dozens of acclaimed titles to life through art production, animation, VFX, and development services—always with the same passion and love for what we do. And we're going to keep doing that under a new name: 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲. Our parent company PTW has just been renamed Side, uniting all of its brands and teams in the process, including 1518 Studios, SIDE (Audio), and Ghostpunch Games. You may have heard of Side's expert audio services for the game industry, and now Side will be synonymous with more high-quality services for the industry, including art. We're still the same partner—we're just now known as Side's Art team! Visit our new website to find out more: 👉 https://bit.ly/4kp4o99
