Double Eleven Limited — Cyborg Score 7/10

Solid
Video Games

Strategic Profile

Porting has become the studio's core bread and butter, enabling sustainable operations and excellent team care. The company is currently collaborating on Minecraft Dungeons with Mojang Studios, Prison Architect 2 with Paradox Interactive, Grounded with Obsidian Entertainment, and Fallout 76 with Bethesda Game Studios. The studio is also hungry to create its own IP alongside its work with established franchises.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Double Eleven operates as a stable, well-resourced independent developer with a portfolio of AAA partnerships and successful multi-platform porting expertise. The company demonstrated growth (300 employees by April 2022) and awards recognition, but lacks public financial data and operates in a competitive market where project-based revenue creates cyclicality.

Top Insights

  • Porting specialist model: The studio has built sustainable revenue through multi-platform conversions and ports, reducing dependency on any single franchise
  • AAA partnerships: Deep relationships with industry leaders (Rockstar, Mojang, Bethesda, Paradox, Obsidian) provide stable project pipeline and prestige
  • Geographic diversification: UK headquarters (Middlesbrough) with Malaysian office (opened January 2020) enables access to Asian talent and markets
  • Own IP ambitions: Company explicitly seeks to develop original intellectual property alongside work-for-hire, signaling long-term creative growth strategy
