About AntWave

AntWave is a game studio based in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Founded in December 2025, we develop strategy games built around original characters and worlds.

Our Direction

Strategy game development is our starting point. Our first priority is to make the game enjoyable and polished, and to understand how players respond through testing and feedback. Building on that foundation, we plan to gradually explore stories, media content, and character merchandise based on the game’s characters and world.

Our Next Steps

We are testing a playable development build of AntWave and using feedback to improve the tutorial, controls and overall usability, difficulty balance, and stability. Following these improvements, we plan to broaden playtesting and prepare the game for release.

Games. Media. Characters.
