 Hi-Rez Studios was founded in 2005 to create exceptional online interactive entertainment. Hi-Rez, short for Hi-Resolution, refers to "images of the finest sharpness, detail and quality." As the name implies, our goal is to create games and virtual worlds at that highest level of quality in terms of both graphics and game-play. Hi-Rez is an independent studio. We are therefore able to work with any publisher, on any platform, and to establish game design, art, and production schedules in support of our vision. Our current project is a spy-fi, action MMO titled Global Agenda™. |
