DON’T NOD, formerly Dontnod Entertainment of Life is Strange fame, is publishing a new action RPG. Developed by Italy-based Tiny Bull Studios, which consists of 15 people, it’s also co-producing the title and will hold the majority of IP rights.
In a new press release, the company described the new title as having “powerful sales potential in the buoyant action RPG segment.” It also said the collaboration would be a “big value generator” in terms of bolstering its IP portfolio and line-up.
DON’T NOD CEO Oskar Guilbert said, “We are proud to welcome Tiny Bull Studios among our partners. We were won over by the singular project developed by this talented studio, which underlines DON’T NOD’s commitment to supporting original creations in keeping with our mindset and values in a genre that appeals to a wide audience. We are proud to be signing our third collaboration in the space of 18 months, thereby furthering our ambitions as a publisher and bolstering our asset portfolio.”
Tiny Bull Studios CEO Matteo Lana added, “This is a great opportunity for Tiny Bull Studios. Meaningful games have always been our focus and we are looking forward to working with such an outstanding partner on our next project.”
DON’T NOD will share its “know-how and experience” from developing titles like Vampyr with Tiny Bull during development. This announcement follows the studio publishing Gerda: A Flame in Winter for PortaPlay, which is currently available for PC. It currently has six internal projects in development and will self-publish five games between 2022 to 2025.
In the meantime, it’s also working on a new action RPG with Focus Entertainment. Stay tuned for more details on these projects and much more in the coming months.
