    Devolver launches new indie label focused on licensed games

    Devolver Digital has announced the creation of a new publishing label designed specifically for licensed games. The label, named Big Fan Games, is helmed by industry veterans that have worked with brands like Disney, Dark Horse, and more. In a press release, Devolver said that the new company’s goals are, “helping independent game developers breathe new life into their favorite movies, comics, TV shows, and cult heroes through the power of video games.” Big Fan already has a number of games on its roster including Reigns: Game of Thrones, Hellboy Web of Wyrd, and John Wick Hex.

    Licensed games were a big portion of the video game industry in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. A lot of games that have been enshrined in older gamers’ imagination as being harder than the games of today were licensed platformers like Disney’s Lion King, Duck Tales, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES. However, their quality started to decline and soon, licensed games became thought of as little more than interactive commercials.

    Though sentiments regarding licensed games have changed, the team at Big Fan is aware of the stigma, sharing in the press release, “Our goal at Big Fan is to nurture fun and inventive games that stand on their own, rather than serving as marketing tie-ins for other media launches.”

    Big Fan seeks to keep the trend going saying, “independent games created in these universes can explore them in new and unexpected ways, and it’s our goal to raise the bar of what fans can expect.”
