thatgamecompany announces new publishing arm ‘thatgamepublisher’

While they are known best for creating the excellent PlayStation exclusive Journey back in 2012, thatgamecompany has been quietly growing over the past many years thanks to the success of their free-to-play Sky: Children of the Light. Having amassed over 300 million players, studio thatgamecompany are now deciding to pay-it-forward, announcing their new publishing arm ‘thatgamepublisher’.

Taking part in an interview with the publication GamesIndustry.biz, thatgamecompany co-founder Jenova Chen confirmed that they had opened up a new publishing wing.

Known appropriately as thatgamepublisher, this new venture has been founded “because we believe there are countless creators around the world discovering new emotional frontiers for this medium, and we want to help them bring those visions to life.”

As of now, the publisher confirmed that they have already signed “a couple” of projects, however things are being kept under wraps at the moment.

The full interview is lengthy and covers a wide range of topics, from the early days of thatgamecompany; to the success of Sky: Children of the Light; their philosophy as a publisher and more (available to read HERE).
