This venture aims to specialize in triple-A co-development and games porting, positioning itself as a key player in the competitive landscape.
Leadership and Vision
At the helm of Cast Iron Games are industry veterans Arden Aspinall and Jon Seymour, who serve as CEO and COO, respectively.

This wealth of experience is expected to guide the studio toward success.
As a sister company to Double Eleven, Cast Iron Games is built on a foundation of shared values and principles. Aspinall expressed his vision for the studio, stating, “I wanted the company to reflect the name, a company that’s Cast Iron in its reliability and the quality of results it delivers for clients.” He emphasized the inspiration drawn from Double Eleven’s growth under Lee and his leadership team, highlighting a strong synergy between the two entities.
“These values now underpin the way we operate as a team in Cast Iron,” Aspinall continued. “A safe pair of hands forging partnerships that are built to last.” This commitment to reliability and quality is poised to resonate with clients seeking dependable collaborators in the gaming space.
