Heroic Labs / Nakama

Overview#

Heroic Labs delivers the robust game-server platform Nakama, designed to support multiplayer, social and real-time gameplay at scale. With a rich feature set including matchmaking, chat, leaderboards, and real-time synchronous or asynchronous player interaction, Nakama serves as a comprehensive foundation for online games.

At the heart of the platform is the ability for studios to deploy and customize the server logic, allowing full control over their backend infrastructure and game-specific workflows. Heroic Labs emphasises extensibility via Go, Lua or TypeScript and supports client libraries across many engines.

Our partnership links Nakama with the ODIN Fleet platform, enabling customers to utilise ODIN as a seamless deployment target for Nakama’s matchmaking and game-server orchestration. By integrating ODIN Fleet as a backend target for Nakama, studios benefit from cost-effective, reliable server hosting without hidden fees, and can easily spin up instances globally under familiar orchestration flows.

Key benefits for studios using Nakama + ODIN include:

• Efficient matchmaking pipelines that connect Nakama’s logic to ODIN Fleet-deployed game server instances
• Simplified backend operations - developers manage their matchmaking and game logic in Nakama, while ODIN handles the infrastructure scaling and deployment
• Transparent and predictable pricing models via ODIN’s infrastructure, removing surprises from hidden cloud or server costs
• Availability of specialised hardware, regional deployment targets and integration into the broader ODIN ecosystem for multiplayer services

Together, Heroic Labs’ Nakama and ODIN Fleet offer a powerful and developer-friendly stack for building multiplayer games where infrastructure, matchmaking and game server orchestration are integrated and future-proof.
