Grinding Gear Games was founded in November 2006 in Auckland, New Zealand. Its founding members come from various countries and have a selection of diverse backgrounds ranging from artificial intelligence and software security to industrial design to professional tournament game play.

We are currently developing Path of Exile, a competitive online action RPG. Much more information about this project is available at www.pathofexile.com

As veterans of various online role playing games, we understand what is required to make a compelling action RPG with visceral combat and a complex item economy.
