Argus Labs

Building the future of games, together.

At Argus Labs, we are shaping the future of games through bleeding-edge applied research in distributed systems and game design.

Despite being internet-native, online game worlds exist in siloed systems -- seemingly tucked away in the dark corners of the universe.

• Game developers are locked into platform giants and operate at their mercy.
• Players are restricted from creating content and platforms that directly hook into core game logic and data.
• Games can't communicate with each other seamlessly, eliminating a treasure trove of game design innovation and embargoing the growth of expansive game economies.

We are pioneering a game technology architecture that allows games, marketplaces, public good game infrastructures, and user-generated content/platforms to communicate and interoperate seamlessly.

There is no better way to chart the unknowns than by showing the way. At Argus Labs, we build our own games that are native to our infrastructure; this provides us with maximum mechanical sympathy, allowing us to design games that fully unlock the power and quirks of the underlying platform.

Backed by the best

We recently raised $10 million in seed funding led by Haun Ventures ($1.5B crypto fund founded by ex-a16z GP Katie Haun) with participation from angels in tech and gaming such as Elad Gil, Balaji Srinivasan, Siqi Chen, etc.
