Devolver launches new indie label focused on licensed games


The licensed game renaissance continues.

The label, named Big Fan Games, is helmed by industry veterans who have worked with brands like Disney, Dark Horse, and more. Though sentiments regarding licensed games have changed, the team at Big Fan is aware of the stigma, sharing in the press release that the “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.” The launch of a label centered on licensed properties seems right on time as those kinds of games are experiencing a new renaissance and attention from the industry’s biggest studios.
