Mundfish on Powerhouse: Revolutionizing Game Development with a Unique Approach

Mundfish, the studio behind the successful game Atomic Heart, has launched a new initiative called Powerhouse, aiming to provide a unique blend of funding and support to game developers. With a focus on helping studios create AA to AAA-size projects, Powerhouse seeks to differentiate itself from traditional game publishing and studio-to-studio funding models. The initiative's first game, Ill, was recently unveiled at Summer Game Fest, along with in-house games Atomic Heart 2 and The Cube. In an interview, Mundfish CEO Robert Bagratuni and chief strategy and investment officer Igor Poldyaev discussed Powerhouse's vision, which is centered around offering a breadth of services inspired by the help Mundfish lacked when it was starting out. By providing guidance, expertise, and resources, Powerhouse aims to help developers overcome common challenges and create innovative games that can redefine the industry. With a commitment to funding each project until launch, Powerhouse encourages developers to approach additional investors and offers to make introductions, stimulating the creative process and fostering growth. By focusing on the creative vision and unique ideas, Powerhouse is poised to make a significant impact on the gaming landscape.
