About Helsinki
How a small Finnish team became the Nordic hub of NovaForge.
2021
Studio opens in Helsinki
A core group of Finnish designers and engineers joins NovaForge to form a dedicated systems and live-ops cell.
2022
First major contribution
Helsinki leads seasonal framework for Stellar Drift. Player retention metrics climb across key markets.
2023–2024
Team grows
We expand into balance, analytics, and client stability. The studio becomes the go-to hub for mid-core live-ops inside NovaForge.
2025–2026
One network
Helsinki and the main NovaForge team share pipelines, tools, and releases. Same brand, same quality bar — two locations.
How we work
The Finnish way inside a global studio.
Clarity first
Simple systems that players understand. No unnecessary noise.
Data + feel
We measure everything, then decide with taste.
One team
We ship as NovaForge — Helsinki is a chapter, not a separate company.
