Independent game studio Section 9 Interactive today announced a publishing partnership with Epic Games. Epic Games will fund the development of and go-to-market expenses on their upcoming, unannounced sci-fi action adventure title.
Founded in 2020 and located in Malmö, Sweden, Section 9 Interactive is composed of veteran developers from Little Nightmares, Little Nightmares 2, and LittleBigPlanet PS VITA. Section 9 Interactive’s new, atmospheric sci-fi action game will be made with Unreal Engine 5 and will be released for PC and consoles.
“Working with the Epic Games Publishing team has been an amazing experience for us,” says Gustaf Heinerwall, Co-Founder of Section 9 Interactive. “Ever since our first meeting with the team at EGP we felt that this partnership was a perfect fit for our studio. They’ve given us incredible support and the freedom to fully explore our creative vision, which is all we can ask for in a publisher. We are thankful for this opportunity, and excited for what comes next.”
In a publishing partnership with Epic Games, developers own their game’s intellectual property rights, receive funding for development costs, receive go-to-market support, and retain complete creative control of their work. After launch and once costs are recouped, developers will earn at least 50% revenue share.
