Video game developer Lucid Games is moving into bigger new officer in Liverpool city centre as its team continues to expand.
The developer has appointed leading office design firm Oktra to deliver its newest innovative space for its expanding team. Located in the heart of the city, the new headquarters will serve as a space to grow Lucid Games as a leading force in Liverpool’s burgeoning gaming sector.
The new office, set to open in Liverpool’s bohemian Baltic Triangle area in November, will offer a creative and inclusive space for both experienced employees and recent graduates entering the gaming industry. At 13,192 square feet, the workplace will be housed within a refurbished Victorian grain mill, with its historic legacy preserved in features like the old wheel, brickwork, and exposed timber floors.
After collaborating with Oktra on a nearby project in 2021, Lucid Games sought a larger footprint to meet the needs of its growing team of 250. Oktra’s strategic approach, grounded in consultation and creative design, will deliver a workspace that mirrors the company’s dynamic culture. From bright LED lighting to floors dedicated for each team, the workplace will promise to bring Lucid Games’ unique brand identity to the fore and celebrate their Liverpool roots.
Speaking on the new workspace, COO of Lucid Games Nick Davies said: “With the growth of the studio over the last 15 years, it’s become important for us to now grow our footprint, but also to remain based within our roots in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.
Working with Oktra has enabled us to design and create a modern, refreshed, and expanded office space that reflects the creativity of our team and also matches the ambition of the games that we are currently developing. Our new setup will allow better collaboration, improved infrastructure, and importantly room to grow, so that our staff have a comfortable home where they can continue to produce their best work.”
The Baltic Triangle, known for its bold street art, skateparks, and repurposed warehouses, mirrors the creative spirit of Lucid Games. The new workspace comes as Liverpool emerges as a northern gaming hub, with the city’s thriving talent pool fueling growth across the creative sector. Recognised as a local talent powerhouse, Lucid’s new office further strengthens its impact on the city’s economy.
Andy Burke, Project Director at Oktra said: “Designing Lucid Games’ new Liverpool workplace meant creating a space worthy of a city fast becoming a gaming powerhouse. We wanted the design to inspire, spark creativity, fuel collaboration, and showcase the energy of such an exciting industry. After deep research and thorough consultation, we landed on a dynamic space that matches the pace of the gaming world.”
