- Mode 7 co-founder leaves to do brain science - 18 March 2019
Ian Hardingham, the co-founder of Mode 7 Games, has left the Frozen Synapse studio and the games industry altogether for a new career as a bona fide brain science man working on detecting Alzheimer’s disease. Goodness me. This does sadly mean that Mode 7 are winding down development a bit, still making the odd small-ish game or two and publishing others but no longer planning “large-scale” games of their own. That’s a shame as they’ve made some crackers but I suppose it is also good to, y’know, work against a horrifying disease. (more…)
- Wot I think: Frozen Synapse 2 - 13 September 2018
Developer: Mode 7 Publisher: Mode 7 Release: Out now! On: Windows From: Steam , Humble and GOG For: $30, other currencies TBC Frozen Synapse 2 s campaign puts you in charge of a security force in a sprawling, cyberpunk metropolis where a rogue AI threatens the safety of the populace.

- City-scale cyberstrategy game Frozen Synapse 2 launches and executes next week - 5 September 2018
Maybe there’s something to all these tactics games. They’re sneaky – you blink, and you’re flanked with nowhere to hide. Today’s second surprise announcement in the genre is that Frozen Synapse 2 launches next week on Thursday, September 13th. Jack me in. Frozen Synapse 2 is a vastly more ambitious beast than its purely tactical predecessor . Developer Mode 7 have taken the tense turn-based combat of the first game and transplanted it into a dynamic campaign set across a procedurally generated city. Check out the new trailer below, giving a tantalising peek at its glowing neon world erupting into flames. (more…)
