About the Company

Lighthouse Games

Unreal Engine-powered AAA racing game studio

Lighthouse Games is an independent AAA game studio based in Leamington Spa, developing PC and console titles with a focus on technologically ambitious, highly polished experiences. Its debut project is a new intellectual property built on Unreal Engine, described as a disruptive driving game that aims to innovate within the racing genre rather than imitate existing franchises like Forza Horizon. The company relies on a growing team of industry veterans and has secured funding from Tencent’s Venture Lab while preserving full creative and publishing control. Compared with competitors, Lighthouse blends seasoned leadership from Codemasters and Playground Games with a fresh, independent stance and a clear aim to define a new genre of driving games for a global audience. The overarching goal is to deliver a high-budget, globally appealing racing title that establishes a new IP and drives the studio’s growth.
