Lisbon game-development studio of Norwegian publisher Funcom (Oslo, founded 1993). Funcom acquired Lisbon’s Zona Paradoxal (ZPX) in 2019; the studio now counts roughly 70 developers from 11 countries working on titles such as Conan Exiles and Dune: Awakening.
Funcom ZPX is a full-range development studio in central Lisbon and one of five Funcom studios worldwide, alongside Oslo, Stockholm, Bucharest and Durham (US). It contributes to Funcom’s flagship survival and open-world titles.
One of the clearest examples of Nordic gaming capital choosing Lisbon for talent: a Norwegian publisher acquiring and scaling a Portuguese studio rather than just outsourcing to it.
Fractio helps Nordic companies enter the Portuguese market — from market sizing to first sales, hiring, and legal setup.
