What is Fracture Labs?
Fracture Labs is a game technology studio founded in 2018. It licenses the infrastructure behind Decimated, its live open-world multiplayer game, so other studios can build persistent worlds, multiplayer and live-service games without developing the core systems from scratch.
What does the Fracture Labs platform include?
Fifteen integrated, production-ready systems: progression, resources, loot and drops, skills, trading, combat, inventory, AI behaviour, spawning, social, economy, crafting, quests, exploration and timers, all writing to a shared persistent state layer.
How much development time does licensing save?
Building comparable open-world infrastructure from scratch typically takes 5 to 8 years. Studios building on the Fracture Labs platform target 12 to 24 months to a shippable persistent world.
How much does it cost to build an AA open world from scratch?
Industry-typical AA open-world infrastructure takes 4 to 5 years and roughly $7.2M to $9M or more. Fracture Labs has invested about $7.5M over 5+ years building its platform.
What does a Fracture Labs license include?
Full source access rather than an SDK or black box; a massively multiplayer-ready open-world client and server architecture; client and server build automation ready to plug into your build pipeline; the complete engineering history with version control and linked issue tracking; production-scale template projects. Everything was built by human engineers over 5+ years, before AI code generation. Detailed codebase metrics are available under NDA.
How is the platform licensed and priced?
There are three tiers: Entry license, Core platform and Strategic partner. Each is quoted per project based on scope, team size and target platforms.
Is the technology proven in a live game?
Yes. It runs Decimated, live since 2024, with missions, NPCs, three player factions, squads and voice chat, vehicle physics, jetpacks, parkour and a wide weapon set. Decimated has 400,000 downloads and multiple industry awards.
What gameplay features come with the Fracture Labs platform?
Everything that ships in Decimated: PvPvE combat with dozens of weapons, hundreds of mission variations, multiple factions with reputation, a third-person parkour controller with jetpacks, dozens of drivable vehicles, survival systems, a player economy with trading and a marketplace, squads with proximity voice chat, large open-world maps with dynamic sandstorms, progression and leaderboards, and a complete game UI.
Which engine is the platform built on?
The platform was built for Decimated, an Unreal Engine 5 open-world game, and Fracture Labs also works across Unity for optimization projects.
