Airship Interactive relaunches as Airmergent after entering administration

• New company led and funded by existing management team. 
• Airmergent has acquired Airship’s assets, team and active projects.

UK-based co-development studio and art outsourcer Airship Interactive has relaunched as Airmergent after entering administration.

Led and funded by the existing management team, Airmergent has acquired the assets, team and active projects of the now closed Airship Interactive. The company claimed all employees have made the move and there has been no disruption to contracts, payroll or client work.

The team at Airship had previously worked on titles such as Star Wars: Hunters, Baldur’s Gate 3, FC24, and Pax Dei.

Building something new 

According to a recent report by CityAM, since 2020 the studio has received multiple rounds of investment from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF) via FW Capital, including a six-figure sum in January 2024 to support the opening of a new 8,000 sq ft office in Cheshire.

“Airmergent allows us to protect the team, preserve the work we’re proud of, and build something even stronger," said Airmergent CEO Joe Harford. 

“We’re carrying forward everything that made Airship trusted by clients worldwide, while expanding into co-development, enhanced workflows, and more agile ways of working. I’m proud of the resilience our team has shown and grateful to our partners for continuing the journey with us."
