PRG Team

Höskuldur Sigurðarson

Founder / Allfather (CEO)

I'm a lifelong gamer, storyteller, and tech leader with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of gaming, development, and live operations.

From building central services teams at CCP Games to global service reliability teams at Riot Games I’ve always thrived where creativity
meets complex systems.

My journey in games has taken me deep into live ops for titles like Riot´s League of Legends, TFT, Legends of Runeterra and Valorant, customer and platform leadership at CCP Games for EVE Online and EVE Valkyrie, and hands-on engagement with passionate gamers in roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons and World of Darkness. I love world-building, systems thinking, and anything that brings stories to life—whether that’s through game mechanics, narrative arcs, or team culture.

Having founded two other companies, and led operational and engineering teams across the globe—from Reykjavik to Dublin to Singapore to LA—building scalable platforms, launching infrastructure, and enabling unforgettable player experiences for millions. My leadership philosophy blends transparency, collaboration, and a good dose of humor. I'm constantly pushing for high performance while creating spaces where engineers and creatives can thrive.

My contributions have ranged from game development to high-impact marketing art, collaborating with leading studios like Ubisoft and Mainframe Industries to bring unforgettable characters and worlds to life.

Nine years ago, I founded Ulfur Studio, a premium art development company serving top-tier clients in games and film. Now, as Chief Creative Officer and co-founder of PRG, I’m channeling that experience into building something new from the ground up—a studio focused on creating ambitious, artistically driven experiences that stand out in both vision and execution.

Tryggvi Hákonarson

Lead Game Designer & Engineering / Saga Crafter

Experience technical game designer with a background in computer science and a passion for building systems that players can dive into and make their own. Founded my own game studio and published two indie games, which gave me hands-on experience with everything from design and programming to production and publishing.

I gravitate toward games with strategic depth and RPG elements—experiences that reward experimentation, offer meaningful choices, and let players shape their own path. As an avid gamer, I care deeply about how systems feel: they should be intuitive, responsive, and rich with potential.

Norse mythology is a big creative influence for me, and I enjoy exploring how those mythic ideas can inspire worlds, mechanics, and storytelling. Whether I’m designing or coding, I’m focused on building immersive, flexible experiences that players can truly make their own.
