Mechs in a fiery battlefield

Black Beach Studio

Black Beach Studio is an independent game development studio focused on building deep, immersive combat experiences designed specifically for virtual reality.
 

Founded by Justin Spice, the studio began developing Iron Rebellion during the early days of consumer VR in 2016 a time when the tools, standards, and design language for VR barely existed. Creating believable virtual cockpits, tactile control systems, and responsive mech combat meant inventing solutions from the ground up.
 

Black Beach Studio was built around a simple idea:

If VR is going to be the future of games, it deserves experiences designed for it from the ground up. Not adaptations of flat-screen games.

Iron Rebellion is the result of that philosophy.
 

COMMUNITY

Iron Rebellion has grown alongside a passionate community of players who have helped shape the game through feedback, testing, and competition.

From early development builds to the current release, the community has played a key role in helping refine the experience and push the game forward.

If you want to connect with other pilots, join matches, or follow development updates, you can join the Iron Rebellion community on Discord.

THE FUTURE

Black Beach Studio continues to expand Iron Rebellion with new systems, features, and gameplay improvements aimed at deepening the tactical mech combat experience.

The long-term vision remains the same as when development began:

Create the most immersive and mechanically satisfying VR mech combat experience possible.

Our Team

Black Beach Studio is a small but mighty team of people working across the world, with the shared passion for building great games and creating immersive VR experiences.
