Skystone Games Publisher Formed, Reveals First Two Titles

by Rainier on May 11, 2020 @ 9:39 a.m. PDT

Skystone Games is a new video game publishing and development company, announcing the first two games in its portfolio: Undying and Spaceline Crew.

Formed by industry veterans David Brevik (creator of the Diablo franchise) and Bill Wang (Perfect World & Giant), Skystone Games is founded on the principle that talent is paramount, and that great gaming experiences can come from anywhere in the world.

“We envision Skystone Games as a global developer and publisher of multiplatform video games, with the aim to provide creative guidance and global publishing services. In this way, we help talented designers make better quality games and market to a global audience.” said CEO Bill Wang. “We want to create a family-like environment that's fun and supportive - a place where every team member’s thoughts and ideas carry the same weight. Developers will share know-how and best practices across projects. When we collaborate in this way, everyone wins.”

“One of the biggest joys in this industry is uncovering hidden gems - projects that are absolutely special, but don’t ever really get the attention they deserve. That’s a problem we want to help solve,” said David Brevik, President. “Our team has a proven track record of doing just that, and we want to shine a spotlight on the sort of talent that deserves to be recognized in a very crowded and competitive world.”

Undying tells the story of mother Anling and her son Cody. Infected by a zombie bite, Anling's days are numbered. She must now fight to survive, not for herself but her young son, Cody. Players will strive to ensure Cody's survival in this zombie infested world by protecting him, searching for safety, and teaching him valuable skills, at any cost.

It will launch on PC, Xbox platforms, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation platforms, Android, and iOS.

Spaceline Crew is a multiple Indie award-winning title custom made for co-op mayhem on PC and consoles alike. A rare example of a non-violent roguelike, Spaceline Crew asks players to cross the galaxy with their friends as flight attendants of commercial spaceships and try to handle asteroids, decompression, puking in zero G, and super demanding alien passengers. With procedural levels, tons of ships to unlock, and plenty of alien vomit to clean up - Spaceline Crew will be the ultimate in retro sci-fi couch co-op craziness.

Spaceline Crew is coming to PC, with Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One versions planned

Both games are due to launch in the near future, and more will be revealed about them in the coming weeks.
