Hooded Horse

Hooded Horse is an American independent publisher founded in 2019, specializing in strategy, management and simulation PC games. The company has quickly established itself as a leading player in the 4X, city builder and grand strategy segments, betting on creative studios with ambitious projects.

Its catalog includes notable titles such as Terra Nil, Against the Storm (a critically acclaimed roguelite city builder), Xenonauts 2, Falling Frontier, and Terraformers. The editorial line is consistent: niche games with strong depth, often in early access, carried by independent teams.

Hooded Horse stands out for its long-term support of its partner studios, with transparent development cycles and active communication with Steam communities. Corsair Cove, developed by Limbic Entertainment, fully fits this philosophy: a demanding city builder set against a backdrop of piracy, planned for July 2026.
