Airmergent launches as new successor studio to Airship Interactive, ensuring continuity and stability

• Newly formed Airmergent acquires assets of Airship Interactive

• All client projects and staff continue uninterrupted under the new business

• Transition personally funded by founder, ex-Airship Interactive CEO Joe Harford, to preserve jobs and legacy

UK, 15 July 2025 — A new player enters the UK games industry as Airmergent officially launches, acquiring the assets, team, and active projects of the now-closed Airship Interactive Ltd.

This comes in response to wider industry challenges. Existing management funded the transition to ensure business continuity, preserve the studio’s creative legacy, and protect the livelihoods of its team. The move ensures that all employees have transferred to Airmergent under UK TUPE regulations, with no disruption to contracts, payroll, or client delivery.

Airmergent is a completely new business entity, built to meet the evolving needs of the games industry while carrying forward the award-winning standards and trusted relationships Airship was known for. The studio will continue to provide high-end art services with expanded capabilities, including scalable co-development teams, enhanced workflows, and a renewed strategic focus on technical excellence.

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

Clients and partners can expect full continuity throughout this brand transition. Over the coming months, Airmergent will fully launch its new website, and reinforce its position as a flexible, forward-looking creative partner to game developers worldwide.
