Unchained Entertainment: The New Identity of City State Entertainment

City State Entertainment has undergone a rebranding transformation to become Unchained Entertainment. Established in 2011 and headquartered in Virginia, the company is led by Mark Jacobs. The rebranding effort is intended to align with the company's proprietary game engine, also named Unchained, which is designed to power the development of next-generation massive multiplayer online games. Unchained Entertainment's inaugural title, Final Stand: Ragnarok, a cooperative player-versus-environment game, was initially released through Steam's Early Access program in 2021, with plans for a full release later this year. According to Jacobs, the Unchained engine is capable of delivering large-scale battles reminiscent of major Hollywood productions, such as Lord of the Rings, enabling thousands of real players to engage in epic, real-time experiences. Furthermore, Unchained Entertainment has secured additional funding from A16z Games.
