Private Division has announced that it has partnered with four new publishing studios which are Evening Star, Piccolo Studio, Yellow Brick Games, and Die Gute Fabrik.
Following the partnership of these four studios, Private Division now adds to its portfolio of titles that include the Kerbal Space Program franchise, OlliOlli World, The Outer Worlds, and more.
Michael Worosz, Executive Vice President and Head of Private Division had this to say,
At Private Division we champion the best creative talent in the games industry, and these four teams and the experiences that they are building represent an array of genres that will appeal to many different gaming audiences. Die Gute Fabrik, Evening Star, Piccolo Studio, and Yellow Brick Games each have their own wildly diverse creative visions, and we’re thrilled to help introduce their games to the world.
Die Gute Fabrik is a Copenhagen-based company that develops story-driven games and are best known for 2019’s IGF and Indiecade award-winning Mutazione, a mutant soap opera where small-town gossip meets the supernatural. Hannah Nicklin, Studio Lead and Creative Director at Die Gute Fabrik talked about the partnership with Private Division,
We’re excited about how strongly Private Division shares our vision for the experience we want to build for our playing audience, and for the ethos with which we’re collaborating on the process. We’re so thrilled about our next story-driven adventure game and the team we’ve brought together to create it, and we can’t wait to share more down the line.
Evening Star was founded in 2018 by Christian Whitehead, Dave Padilla, Tom Fry, Hunter Bridges, and Brad Flick. The founders previously worked on the critically-acclaimed Sonic Mania Plus for SEGA. Dave Padilla, CEO at Evening Star had his say,
We are focused on leveraging the team’s unique backgrounds with an aim to develop electrifying experiences charged with our signature sense of style. Private Division has been a fantastic partner, and their team is equally passionate about our vision. As we grow the studio, we are excited to share more about the new world we are creating.
Piccolo Studio was founded in 2015 by Alexis Corominas, Jordi Ministral, and Oriol Pujado. Piccolo’s debut title, Arise: A Simple Story, garnered critical acclaim for its storytelling and gameplay. Alexis Corominas, Co-Founder of Piccolo Studio released a short statement,
At Piccolo Studio, we craft stories that are very personal yet center on universal themes that have an impact on everyone who plays our games. We tell our stories in unique ways, and we’re thrilled to have found a publisher that supports our vision and is equally invested in seeing the story reach a wide audience.
Yellow Brick Games was founded in Quebec City in 2020 by industry veterans Thomas Giroux, Mike Laidlaw, Jeff Skalski, and Frederic St-Laurent B, and has worked on numerous successful AAA franchises including Dragon Age, Assassin’s Creed, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. Mike Laidlaw, Chief Creative Officer at Yellow Brick Games said,
I find myself energized by the challenge of helping build a new studio—full of incredible talent, ambitious ideas, and real focus on our product—while taking risks that might not be possible in AAA game development. We want to deliver something special for our debut title, and partnering with Private Division provides our team with the support to create a game that’s truly memorable.
