Devolver Digital Introduces Big Fan Games, a New Publishing Label for Movie, TV, and Comic Book Adaptations

Devolver Digital has established a new games publishing label, Big Fan Games, which will focus on adapting popular entertainment IPs, including movies, TV shows, and comic books, into engaging indie games. The label is composed of the Good Shepherd team, acquired by Devolver in 2021, and will be led by general manager Lincoln Hershberger and head of business development Amanda Kruse. Big Fan Games aims to provide a range of services, including financing, PR, marketing, and community management, to support indie developers in creating high-quality adaptations. The label's goal is to become synonymous with exceptional adaptations in the gaming industry, and it is already working on six active projects, with plans to release three to five games per year.
