Lucid Games set to open new Liverpool HQ

Lucid Games is set to open its new headquarters in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.

The locally-based video game developer has appointed leading office design firm Oktra to deliver its newest innovative space for its expanding team within the city.

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 the Baltic Triangle in November, will offer a creative and inclusive space for both experienced employees and recent graduates entering the gaming industry.

At 13,192 sq ft, 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.

Nick Davies, Lucid Games’ chief operating officer, 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.”
