Shinra Technologies Announces Hardsuit Labs As The Latest Developer To Join Its Prototype Accelerator Program

Shinra Technologies, Inc announced that Seattle-based independent developer, Hardsuit Labs, is the latest experienced studio to join Shinra's Prototype Accelerator program.

Hardsuit Labs is a newly-founded studio comprised of developers best known for their continuing work on the free-to-play shooter, Blacklight Retribution. “We have a long history of being early tech adopters – with previous efforts focused on new engines, new consoles, and new business models – and now the opportunity to be an early adopter of cloud gaming is extremely exciting,” says Hardsuit Labs co-founder Russell Nelson.

Shinra’s technology and platform are designed with the intention of offering players exciting new game experiences unavailable anywhere else. The Prototype Accelerator exists to foster invention and allow forward-thinking developers the freedom needed to create bold, new gaming experiences that are otherwise impossible within the limits of traditional game development.

“The opportunity to work in Shinra’s Prototype Accelerator is a truly empowering experience. As a developer and as a gamer, all of the things that you dream about being able to do are, for the first time, not just technically feasible but realistically achievable in ways that will push game design and gameplay to new and exciting realms,” offered Hardsuit Labs co-founder Andy Kipling. “When Hardsuit Labs first heard the pitch for the Shinra platform we were immediately intrigued and excited, and now the opportunity to work closely with Shinra through their Prototype Accelerator program has compounded that excitement tenfold.”

Shinra Technologies Senior Vice President, Jacob Navok, says, “We’re excited for what Hardsuit Labs is working on. With Hardsuit Labs and Camouflaj, as well as others to come, we are arranging a portfolio of unique and dynamic content. We invite other like-minded developers to reach out to us.”

Shinra Technologies will host a special event in San Francisco on March 5th to showcase its latest innovative technology as a limited preview to developers. Developers, publishers, and media are invited. To learn more about the event, please visi thttps://www.shinra.com/us/event.
