At Velan Studios, we stay curious. Our games are driven by the adventurous spirit of our people. We are the creators behind Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Knockout City, Hot Wheels Rift Rally, and we’re not done yet! The mission of our studio is to explore ground-breaking game experiences and new forms of play. We believe in pushing the boundaries of conventional gaming, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, and revolutionizing the industry one game at a time.
