Working with several developers on new titles.
Epic Games this week announced the formation of a new publishing arm; Epic Games Publishing. EGP is working with a number of developers including gen DESIGN (The Last Guardian), Playdead (Inside, Limbo), and Remedy Entertainment (Control) with more announcements on the way.
As part of their developer-first approach, EGP affords 100% creative control and ownership of works to the developer, meaning no publisher interference. EGP has also pledged to cover up to 100% of development costs including publishing, localization, developer salaries, and more. Once development costs are recouped, developers will receive at least a 50% share of all profits related to the game.
“We’re building the publishing model we always wanted for ourselves when we worked with publishers,” said Tim Sweeney, Founder and CEO of Epic Games.
More information on Epic Games Publishing will be released in the coming months.
