Atomic Heart developer Mundfish Studio has launched a publishing initiative called Mundfish Powerhouse.
Powerhouse aims to support aspiring developers by providing investment, resources, and expertise. It also intends to be involved in the early-stages of development to “maximise the chances” of a studio “achieving a breakthrough”.
Those involved with the initiative will utilise their experience and knowledge of “game optimisation, technology, and gameplay mechanics” to help smaller teams.
“For quite some time, studios and investors have been approaching us seeking support,” said Mundfish CEO Robert Bagratuni (via Analog Stick Gaming).
“We’ve decided to make this direction official. Powerhouse will only partner with projects where we see great potential to make noise. Not just a handful of indie hits, but big and bold games that can set a new standard for quality and creative risk.”
Aspiring developers are encouraged to submit their project to Powerhouse with a pitch presentation, a summary of what they’re looking for, and a game demo.
Aside from establishing Powerhouse, Mundfish also announced that Atomic Heart has surpassed ten million players since its launch in February 2023.
