Section 9 Interactive, a studio comprised of industry veterans with experience on titles like Little Nightmares and LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, has announced a publishing partnership with Epic Games for an unannounced sci-fi action-adventure game.
The game, currently in development for PC and current-gen consoles, is being built using Unreal Engine 5. Pre-alpha footage is available on Section 9 Interactive's website.
The studio expressed their excitement about the partnership:
We've entered a publishing partnership with EpicPublishing! Our team is very excited, as they've been tremendous partners in helping bring our creative vision to life...We can't wait to share more soon!
Gustaf Heinerwall, Co-Founder of Section 9 Interactive, praised Epic Games Publishing:
Working with the Epic Games Publishing team has been an amazing experience...They've given us incredible support and the freedom to fully explore our creative vision, which is all we can ask for in a publisher.
Under the partnership, Section 9 Interactive retains full intellectual property rights and creative control, receiving funding and marketing support from Epic Games. They will also earn at least a 50% revenue share after recouping development costs.
Section 9 Interactive is currently hiring for several roles, including Environment Artist, 3D Artist, and Level Designer. More news about the project is expected soon.
