Meet Big Distraction – Creators of LORT
Big Distraction is a new independent studio led by AAA industry veterans, dedicated to making co-op games that are fun, frictionless, and focused on what players care about most. Their debut title, LORT, is a wild co-op fantasy action roguelite for up to 8 players, coming to Steam and Steam Deck in Q4 2025.
“We love games like Risk of Rain 2, Deep Rock Galactic, and Muck. We made LORT so you can have fun with your friends while blasting goblins, screwing around, and getting chadded out of your mind!” — Big Distraction
