Description
Extend Mode is a small British software development studio that specialises in arcade-style games, pushing ideas in classic genres to be as fun as we can make them.
History
EXTEND MODE LLP was founded in 2016. Their first game, CRAZY OTTO, was a take on the Pacman genre, making it a co-operative or competitive party game for up to eight players.
Their second game, EIGHT DRAGONS, was released on PC in 2019. Another co-operative eight player game, this expanded on the traditional side-scrolling beat-'em-up by adding a much larger selection of player characters and enemies than is typical for even big-budget games in the genre. 2020 was taken up with updates to the game, adding new game modes and gameplay features, and even a significant graphical overhaul, before a console launch of the game in 2021.
Since then Extend Mode has been prototyping game concepts, with two making it off the drawing board; DIAMOND GIZA is a co-operative multiplayer arcade exploration game that's in a very early stage of development, while EIGHT DRAGONS 2 is a sequel to their second game, adding online multiplayer, an open world to explore and friendly NPCs. EIGHT DRAGONS 2 is expected to be ready for launch in 2024.
