OUR STORY
Stormind Games was founded in 2016 by Antonio Cannata and Federico Laudani, simultaneously with the announcement of award-winning Remothered: Tormented Fathers, the pure and realistic survival horror video game, which is the first title of the Remothered saga.
Intense stories and distinctive visuals are Stormind Games’ trademarks.
Our video games must inspire and captivate players with their intense stories, and they must be immediately recognizable through their distinctive visual style.
CEO and Co-Founder of the company, he is in charge of the company marketing strategies and business development, with a focus on brand building and deal-making with publishers and investors.
After graduating in Computer Engineering, he devoted his full-time work to combine business and video games, his two passions. Following a professional training abroad, that paved the way for bringing his own company to life with the right conditions, he started operating in the entertainment industry, and after two years, together with Federico Laudani, he founded Stormind Games.
In the last 10 years, he has specialized in brand building, marketing strategies and business development.
His enthusiastic leadership and his contribution to managing the company with the aim to always raise the bar have been awarded twice with the DStars “Management Star” Award (2020 and 2023), for Italian excellence in the game dev industry, and nominated for his “Outstanding Individual Contribution” at the 2023 Italian Video Game Awards.
Co-Founder and Studio Director of Stormind Games, he is in charge of art direction, lighting, look development, and post-production.
After earning a master’s degree in 3D and Graphic Design, he kick-started his career as Art Director, specializing in CGI.
In 2010, he opened a small CGI studio, working mainly on commercials, short films, and 4D movies for the entertainment industry. This experience got him ready for focusing his effort on creating his own company together with Antonio Cannata, in the entertainment industry first, and then in the video game industry, giving birth to Stormind Games.
In the last 15 years, Federico has worked on 30+ productions and now supervises the production department of the company to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.
Released in 2018, Remothered: Tormented Fathers was our first title ever, awarded as the Best Italian Game, recognized by several specialized websites such as Rely on Horror (GOTY 2018), Eurogamer (Best Indie and Best Italian Game), and considered “one of the scariest games of all time” by Gamespot, just to name a few.
2018 was also the year in which Stormind Games won the DStars award as Best New Studio, voted by a jury of more than 100 video games professionals.
In 2020, the studio won the title of Outstanding Italian Company awarded by IVGA to the company whose contribution has proved excellent for the whole game development scene in Italy and in the International landscape.
The same year, on October 13th, Remothered: Broken Porcelain, the second title of the Remothered saga, was released worldwide on Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation.
In January 2021, we officially announced the development of our brand new first proprietary IP, Batora: Lost Haven, through IGN’s worldwide exclusive.
Available for all platforms, Batora: Lost Haven was released on October 20th 2022; the game combines the features of a hack & slash and a twin-stick shooter in a nonlinear interplanetary story-driven action RPG.
In the same period, we started our collaboration with Behaviour Interactive: the creative know-how of our team was chosen to enrich the iconic survival horror IP Dead by Daylight with in-game content such as concepts and models for Gabriel Soma and several other characters.
In June 2024, we announced our latest project: the development of A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, the video game based on the acclaimed Paramount Pictures movie saga, published by Saber Interactive on October 17th, 2024.
We are based in Catania, Italy and, as of today, our team consists of 100+ internal resources and several external collaborators, including experienced 3D artists, developers, writers, and designers who had the chance to previously prove their skills with CGI movies and video games.
