About Turbulent, a Cloud Imperium Company

CIG Turbulent is at the cutting edge of game development, creating game features, environments, characters, and technology for the Star Citizen universe. Located in Montreal, our talented team is dedicated to crafting immersive and innovative experiences that captivate players around the globe.

Since its inception in 2002, Turbulent has been a leader in developing innovative technological platforms across diverse sectors, including entertainment, media, and education. In 2012, we began our collaboration with Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) to develop the web platform for Star Citizen. This partnership evolved, and in 2020, we founded a game development studio that powers the North American development teams of Star Citizen. Our full-fledged studio reaches across online technology, art, environments, UI, and character creation. On July 13, 2023, after more than a decade of successful collaboration, we proudly announced our merger with Cloud Imperium Games.

Cloud Imperium Games is renowned for creating cutting-edge video games that push the boundaries of what is possible. Our flagship projects include Star Citizen, a record-breaking multiplayer online space simulation, and Squadron 42, an epic single-player adventure set in the same expansive universe.
