The partnership involves leading independent developers Die Gute Fabrik, Evening Star, Piccolo Studio, and Yellow Brick Games. Die Gute Fabrik was founded in 2008 by Nils Deneken and is now led by CEO and Creative Director Hannah Nicklin. This developer is currently working on a new story-driven game for Private Division. Regarding the partnership, Die Gute Fabrik Studio Lead and Creative Director Hannah Nicklin had the following to say: Some people might be familiar with Evening Star. For those who aren’t, the company was founded by Sonic Mania developer Christian Whitehead alongside Dave Padilla, Tom Fry, Hunter Bridges, and Brad Flick. The team’s debut title is an unannounced 3D action platformer utilizing their proprietary Star Engine. Dave Padilla, the current CEO of Evening Star, said the following about their partnership with Private Division: The third studio, Piccolo Studio, was founded in 2015 by Alexis Corominas, Jordi Ministral, and Oriol Pujado when the three friends left their successful advertising agency in Barcelona to pursue their passion for videogames. Currently, they are working on a new and unique IP in partnership with Private Division. Alexis Corominas, Co-Founder of Piccolo Studio, had the following to say: Finally, Yellow Brick Games is possibly the biggest highlight of the bunch. The studio has worked on numerous successful AAA franchises, including Dragon Age, Assassin’s Creed, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. The team is currently working on a brand new Action RPG with Private Division. Chief Creative Officer at Yellow Brick Games Mike Laidlaw had the following to say: Private Division has stated that more project specifics will be announced in the near future. Why are the details about the upcoming games so sparse? Well, it’s because all four of the projects are currently in their early development stages. The first of these titles is not expected to launch until Take-Two’s Fiscal Year 2024. It will take a while to see these four partners’ products. However, if they’re anything like OlliOlli World, they might be some great games that will be worth looking into.
