Publisher Sold Out Rebrands Company As Fireshine Games

Published Mon, 07 Mar 2022 22:12:10 -0600

This morning, indie publisher Sold Out announced that they have officially rebranded their company and will be called Fireshine Games. According to the company, this will be a completely new identity for them moving forward with no more ties to the previous name. The UK-based publisher will continue working with companies it already has relationships with, which includes names like Team 17, Rebellion Developments, and Frontier Developments. They will also be moving forward with launching digital games from new indie studios including Pugstorm, Stonewheat & Sons, Spiral Circus, White Paper Games, and more.

This is basically going to be a brand new chapter for the company moving forward with a new lineup of titles set to release in 2022. That set of new titles includes Core Keeper, Silt, Imp Of The Sun, Abermore, Bewwmaster, Shadows Of Doubt, and Gestalt: Steam & Cinder. We have a couple of quotes from today's announcement, as well as the lineup they presented today for 2022.

"Fireshine Games is an exciting new chapter for our publishing business," said James Cato, COO of Fireshine Games. "It reflects the energy and passion of who we are today and where we want to take the business in terms of both digital and physical videogame publishing and distribution."

"The industry landscape is changing rapidly and we've been evolving with it as a publisher," said Sarah Hoeksma, Marketing Director, Fireshine Games. "We have two distinct parts to the business – one which focuses on supporting our long-term partners like Team 17, Rebellion and Frontier Developments with their physical sales and the other which is on the hunt for that next hidden gem of a digital game or supremely talented indie dev studio."
