Overview
Game Hermits is an Egyptian game technology and outsourcing studio based in Mansoura. Founded in 2015, the company works with game studios and organisations on programming, game design, 2D and 3D art, animation, music, multiplayer systems, gameplay frameworks and VR solutions.
The studio's current focus is increasingly centred on technical infrastructure for games, including multiplayer backends, social features, cross-platform systems and reusable gameplay frameworks. It has worked with Unity and Unreal Engine alongside technologies including PlayFab, FishNet, AWS, MongoDB and WebSockets.
Game Hermits has also developed VR training applications for enterprise clients. Its work with the Saudi Electricity Company produced a multiplayer VR safety training programme that allows six trainees to participate simultaneously, with the company saying the system has been used in training semesters since April 2025.
Alongside its outsourcing work, Game Hermits has developed original IP. Its projects include Psycho x Prey, an asymmetric mobile survival game, and War of Peace, an FPS/RPG prototype.
The studio also worked with Split-E on Zamakan, an Egyptian-themed endless runner released on Steam in 2023.
