There have been a ton of great new games to come out in 2013, there's certainly no question about that. But did you also know that a lot of our favorites from the past year were made by brand new development studios? It's true! We saw so many amazing high-quality debuts this year that we only thought it'd be best to point out which studios you'll want to keep an eye on in 2014 and beyond.

At first glance, it's easy to see why every game on this list is positively stunning in its own right: from doing something vastly innovative, to just providing downright fun gameplay, it's evident that the teams behind them knew exactly what they were doing. But then once you realize that all of these games are merely the debut efforts of new studios that are still in their youth, then the excitement really starts to build when you start thinking about all of the second and third titles that are eventually going to come!
