GameStop Announces Publishing Deals With Three More Developers
Earlier this year, GameStop (Disclosure: GameStop is Game Informer’s parent company) and Insomniac announced a partnership to publish Song of the Deep. Today the retailer revealed deals with three more studios as part of its GameTrust initiative.
GameStop will be publishing games from Tequila Works (Deadlight, Rime), Ready at Dawn (The Order: 1886), and Frozenbyte (Trine). No specific titles have been announced, however two of these developers have projects in progress of which we are aware.
Frozenbyte just announced that its PC stealth-action game Shadwen is also coming to PlayStation 4. Tequila Works has long been working on Rime, and recently reacquired the rights from Sony. Whether these are the titles GameStop is involved in is as yet unclear.
GameStop says it is not part of the creative process in its role as publisher. Rather it says it is leveraging retail space and distribution.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
