Learn about Life Beyond Studios
We are proudly part of the Animoca Brands family, the mother company of some of the greatest successes in the gaming Web3 space (Phantom Galaxies, Axie Infinity and The Sandbox among others). With this merge, we are hoping to open doors into different metaverses, and to allow players to freely travel between them, keeping the elements of the IPs they love. ABs will also assist our team with fast-track development and publishing of products for the Web3 space.
Not everyone wants to be the hero.
We want to offer our players the possibility to choose the kind of experiences they want to live.
Our collective mission is to pioneer a new genre of game, the Play&Earn MMO, giving our community every tool to live meaningful and impactful adventures.
We pride ourselves on our unique technical excellence, data driven approach and agility. In developing and publishing, we leverage state-on-the-art tools and technologies. Our development process focuses on quick iterations and empowers our crew.
We believe that the perfect experience is created by the convergence of all the skills, mindsets and experiences brought by the highly competent people working on it.
We have a passion for multiplayer, ambitious online games that are safe and inclusive. Our mission is to create less violent, meaningful experiences that bring people together in a social entertainment space to live their online existence in a shared metaverse.
Our friendly, device-agnostic games are meant to be accessible to all - a space where high-skilled, experienced players and beginners can play together in harmony. They are easily adaptable to our players’ schedule, allowing for short bursts of play or hour-long sessions.
We advocate for the positive power of video games to create and foster deep and lasting friendships. We also believe that we are only just discovering what is possible in this medium, and we invite all fellow believers to explore and build together.
Life Beyond Studios is where art, design, technology and business unite to create open, connected multiplayer worlds that reach beyond entertainment. Our team, just like the experience we strive to make, is a cooperative venture that exists between company and community.
There is great strength in diversity, both in the immeasurable value it adds to the success of a team, and in creating the best possible games for our global player base. Our talent palette is spread across 18 cities in Europe, Asia and Canada.
Ben is the CEO of Life Beyond Studios and Executive Producer of Life Beyond. After a career in banking and private equity, Ben left the dark side for Ubisoft where he worked as producer and designer. There he held several executive positions, such as Game Director on Assassin’s Creed Black Flag and was in charge of the strategic planning of the online games division at Ubisoft headquarters.
Ben discovered Neil Stephenson’s work in 2014, first with Reamde, and it strengthened his obsession to build one day a new kind of MMO where people would have fun playing but where they could also live a life, for real.
A father of two young kids, he cares about building games that can have a positive impact on the world with low violence, inclusivity and lots of meaningful social interactions.
