Azra Games

Azra Games is a video game studio founded in 2022 in Sacramento, California, by Mark Otero, previously general manager at EA Capital Games and the 0-to-1 director of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. The company develops role-playing games designed to run first on mobile devices with visual fidelity comparable to PC and console titles, and to be ported cross-platform with limited additional work. Otero frames the company's goal as defining a "4th generation" of mobile RPGs characterized by open worlds, over-the-shoulder cameras, real-time battles and extended PvE campaigns, in contrast to earlier generations of text-based, 2D and turn-based mobile RPGs.

The studio's flagship project was announced in 2024 under the code name "Project Legends" and was subsequently revealed in May 2025 as UnGodly, a dark fantasy free-to-play RPG for mobile and PC described by the company as a Sword & Sorcery interpretation. Pre-registration for iOS and Android was reported in June 2026. Azra also operates Azra Labs, a research and development team led by co-founder and CTO Travis Boudreaux, applying artificial intelligence to accelerate the production of AAA mobile content by industrializing the RPG development process; the company markets this internally developed stack as RPG GameKit. An IP center within the company supports intellectual property development and idea generation.

Azra has been covered as a web3 / blockchain-adjacent game developer, with investors citing the combination of new gaming formats with digital ownership. Otero has stated the company's sequencing is to first build a strong RPG and only then incorporate additional technology, including web3, to amplify the player experience.
