Ghost Ship Games, the developer behind Deep Rock Galactic, has announced that it will be launching a publishing arm to help “lift up” smaller developers.
Titled Ghost Ship Publishing, the brand new arm of Ghost Ship assists like a “launchpad for independent game titles in the rapidly growing Danish games industry and beyond.”
Ghost Ship Publishing will announce a number of its upcoming titles on March 2, included in Deep Rock Galactic‘s fifth anniversary livestream.
Ghost Ship explains the “careful method of open development along with a flexible design philosophy” from the game is going to be foundational for future games published by the studio.
“Being a publisher is a method for us to give a bit to the industry, and to help lift up both the Danish gaming scene and other small developers like ourselves around the world,” commented Soren Lundgaard, CEO of Ghost Ship Games. “Our goal is to assist fellow developers with funding and marketing expertise, whilst helping them set up a solid business. Founding a publishing brand is a passion task for us, and we're very excited to make mtss is a reality.”
Mikkel Martin Pedersen, the studio’s CCO, added that “starting a publishing company is an all natural next thing for Ghost Ship,” and explained that “the success of Deep Rock Galactic” has allowed the expansion.
We played through the game’s third season in October, and enjoyed the “pure carnage” from the game’s plague-themed update.
Earlier in the month, Ghost Ship Games announced that it could be celebrating Deep Rock Galactic‘s fifth birthday by having an in-game event running from March 2 to March 16. Additionally, players will be presented an option to play the original version of Deep Rock Galactic that launched in 2023.
