Balio Studio was founded in 2009 by the Baglio brothers in Mons, Belgium. For over 15 years, we’ve been developing video games based on some of the world’s most beloved IPs — from Smurfs to Astérix, Garfield to Totally Spies.
Today, we’re taking the next step. As a publisher, we now control the full journey of our games — from the first spark of an idea to the moment it lands in players’ hands. Same team, same passion, bigger ambitions.
BALIO STUDIO was founded in 2009 by the Baglio brothers in Mons, Belgium. Since its creation, the studio has positioned itself as an independent developer of video games for various consoles including PC, MAC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. The studio’s aim has always been to produce high-quality games, often by adapting games from famous brands.
The studio quickly gained a reputation for technical excellence and the ability to develop games that captivate players through partnerships with major brands. Among their notable successes are titles such as “The Smurfs Village Party,” “The Sisters 1 & 2,” “Garfield Lasagna Party,” “Fort Boyard – Escape games,” and “Who wants to be a millionaire.” These games illustrate the diversity of their portfolio and their ability to adapt to the varied tastes of the video game market.
