Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Ringtail Interactive include two subsidiaries: Ringtail Lemur and Ringtail Team Three. We are united as a company behind our vision to empower a new era of connectivity.
We are proud to host a strong, diverse, and international crew of games industry veterans and emerging talents alike, building platforms for multiplayer gaming and beyond. Together, we are putting a new generation of creation tools in the hands of both developers and players across the world.
Lemur, our upcoming flagship technology and proprietary multiplayer development platform, is the fruit of these ambitions. Ringtail Team Three’s Scape, a vast social and UGC driven MMO, will make full use of this technology.
