Devolver Announces Big Fan Games, New Label Focusing On Movie And Book Games
Say hello to Big Fan Games, a new spin-off label of Devolver Digital that will publish titles based on movies, TV shows, comic books, and more. The team wants to take a “new approach” to licensed games after working on titles like John Wick Hex and Hellboy: Web of Wyrd.
No new games were unveiled with the introduction of Big Fan Games. The publisher notes that it wants to work with indie developers on games that aren’t just “marketing tie-ins” to help launch a movie or comic book. Instead, Big Fan Games wants its titles to do their own thing.
Those projects could possibly be collaborations with Disney or Dark Horse Comics, for example. Big Fan Games namechecked those two companies–along with Rebellion and Lionsgate–and added that it’s “actively working with these partners right now.”
