THE TEAM

ABOUT US

Ishtar Games is a French indie studio based in Lille and Bordeaux (France). Formerly known as “CCCP”, we have been creating games since 2005.

At Ishtar Games, we are committed to celebrating diversity, whether it’s within our teams or the games we develop. We respect equal employment opportunities, as well as non-discriminatory treatment of applications. We welcome everyone – without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, genetic information, religion, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, marital status, family status or any other characteristic protected by laws – and believe diversity is the greatest of strength. Joining Ishtar Games means working with video games enthusiasts, in a caring and human-sized team. Every day, we build and sustain together a safe environment for everyone. Come and join us!
