The developer behind popular extraction shooter Escape From Tarkov is expanding its operations and becoming a game publisher.
Battlestate Games head Nikita Buyanov shared on X that the studio was venturing into uncharted territory and opening a publishing arm to help bring “hardcore” indie games to the wider market. He said that the team at Battlestate would “help bring your detailed, uncompromising, hardcore and immersive ideas to life” in order to ensure the survival of punishing and realistic titles that have swept the market in recent years.
Buyanov said the studio was accepting pitches for all types of games, regardless of the genre, setting, or whether it is a single or multiplayer experience. He listed some examples, such as simulators, immersive sims, military titles or even intellectual games driven by complex internal systems.
The Battlestate head added that they particularly encourage games that any other publisher might call “too ambitious, too niche or too risky”, giving would-be developers a near-limitless scope for creation. With the help of Battlestate’s community of millions of players and studio resources, Buyanov hopes to launch the next big thing in gaming.
