The team of ten are all of Persian background and are currently relocating to Europe, having worked together for over a decade. CEO Ali Boroumand is based in the Netherlands.

“Joining the RCP family allows us to focus more effectively on internal projects we're very excited about, while also granting us access to invaluable industry insights and connections” said Boroumand.“RCP’s values and vision in today’s volatile world strongly aligns with ours and joining RCP empowers us to express our voice and identity through our games.”

Black Cube’s previous title, The Tale of Bistun is based on the rich storytelling and mythology of Persia,  following an amnesiac stone-carver on his journey up the slopes of the intimidating Mount Bistun.

Players battle legions of monstrous foes using fast-paced melee combat and powerful magical abilities as they explore the real world and the mysterious place of forgotten memories, known as the Revelations Realm.

“We have always tried to make games that we love to play and we have tried to benefit from Persian culture in this way. Joining RCP enables us to pursue this path with greater efficiency and velocity” said Amin Shahidi, studio director.

As part of the rcp family, Black Cube will be working on their own IP, as well as providing work-for-hire support for internal and external studios.
