“For players, the phrase ‘Time to Kill’ defines how a shooter feels and how fast it plays,” said Lars Gustavsson, Creative Director and CEO. “We’ve made it our studio name and part of our studio culture. For us the term ‘TTK’ isn’t just about the craftmanship behind finding the perfect speed or immediacy of a game – it’s about how human beings have been killing time through play for thousands of years. Throughout my career I’ve made games to encourage teamwork, friendly competition and using your mind and reflexes to accomplish a goal and outwit your opponent. We are passionate about videogames, because we think there’s no better way to kill time.”
TTK Games has secured significant funding coupled with creative freedom. The studio is now recruiting for hybrid and Stockholm-based roles from graduate to lead across all disciplines.
