New year, new successes.
2024 is the year of Rogues
The game is ON in 2024.
While 2023 was a triumphant year for Rogues Studio, with multiple game launches and sold out collections, an even more successful year is at its dawn.
2024 will be the year of Rogues. As the year already started with a full on pace, we have a new year’s resolution:
Become the leading gaming studio for fun, multiplayer games.
In this post, we’ll show you how we’ll do it (hint: huge Alpha in the middle of the post)!
Unveiling the 2024 game plan
Our plans for 2024 are realistically ambitious. Packed with growth, innovation and many new releases, this year promises to be a new company-defining chapter in our journey. Here's a sneak peek into the top 10 exciting developments awaiting you:
1. Team expansion
January 2024 onwards
As you may know already, Rogues has been creating our multiple games and collections with a team of just four people. We know that a team expansion is needed to create an even faster turnaround, increase output and accelerate our growth in 2024. Starting this month, we’ll be recruiting for part-time (and eventually, full-time) members of the team primarily in the areas of marketing and game development.
The amount of people that we hire will change at the point of raising investment in the middle of the year (see point 5 below), as this will further accelerate our growth.

During January, we’ll be focusing on bug fixes (expect a minor update). Come February, we’ll be heavily into a development mode for a mobile release in both mobile stores at the end of March 2024.
This game version will be a significant improvement to the alpha version you may have already seen, and will appeal to the mobile gamers from outside the web3 world.
The release of Heroes of the Flow on mobile will be the first major achievement of 2024, as it will significantly expand our reach and player base.
