Cult of the North

Cult of the North (established November 2022 under the codename "Seidr") is a Stockholm, Sweden-based video game studio co-founded by former EA general manager Adam Schaub and former King SVP Marcus Jacobs, and backed by a seed investment from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). The studio drew talent from King, Activision Blizzard, EA, Embark Studios, Resolution Games, and FunPlus, and set out to build large-scale, next-generation multiplayer PvP experiences for PC and console in Unreal Engine 5 — first the debut title codenamed "Project Gundalf" and later the free-to-play strategy war game "We Will Be Gods." As a consumer game studio it exposes no public developer API, SDK, or documentation surface; this profile carries company identity only. Industry reporting in 2025 indicated the studio wound down operations.

Cult of the North is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Video Games, Game Studio, Game Development, and Multiplayer.
