Through a strategic management buyout, Twin Sails gains full autonomy and more flexibility to drive its vision for growth.
The transition will not impact the company’s structure, as Twin Sails will retain its entire team, including Chief Executive Officer Nicolas Godement, Production Director Laurent Lichnewsky, and Marketing Director Adrien Rotondo.
"This is an exciting new chapter for Twin Sails Interactive,” said Nicolas Godement, CEO of Twin Sails Interactive. “Our time within Asmodee provided us with invaluable experience, and we are grateful for the collaboration that helped shape our journey. Now, as an independent publisher, we move forward with confidence, ready to pursue our bold and energized vision for the future."
Thomas Koegler, CEO of Asmodee, added: “we are proud to see Twin Sails Interactive set sail towards new horizons under the leadership of its passionate management team. This transition marks an exciting new chapter, ensuring continuity while allowing both Asmodee and Twin Sails Interactive to thrive in their respective areas of expertise. We look forward to Twin Sails Interactive continuing to meet success and innovate, bringing fresh, engaging experiences to players worldwide - and wish them a journey filled with success, creativity, and new opportunities.”
A New Era for Twin Sails Interactive
Founded in 2016 and formerly known as Asmodee Digital, Twin Sails Interactive originally served as Asmodee’s video game division. While best known for bringing beloved tabletop games into the digital realm, such as Terraforming Mars or Gloomhaven, the company has also made its mark in the independent gaming scene, publishing critically acclaimed titles such as Ember Knights, Survival: Fountain of Youth, and News Tower.
With its newfound independence, Twin Sails Interactive is reaffirming its commitment to delivering distinctive, high-quality titles that offer immersive and memorable gaming experiences.
“At Twin Sails Interactive, we believe every game deserves dedicated expertise and care,” said Laurent Lichnewsky, Production Director. “That’s why each title is championed by a dedicated ‘Triforce’—a producer, brand manager, and game designer—who work closely with the developer to shape the game’s creative vision, a strong market positioning, and overall quality. From production oversight to porting, localization, and QA, we’re committed to delivering polished, high-impact experiences to players worldwide.”
"We will continue to champion creative titles with strong visual identities and passionate teams behind them", added Adrien Rotondo, Marketing Director. "Our goal is to work with our partner studios to create long-lasting game brands that grow through updates, new content, and new titles in the series”.
Looking Ahead
Bloomtown: A Different Story

News Tower
The popular newsroom tycoon News Tower, available on Steam, is set to launch out of Early Access later this fall 2025. In News Tower, players manage a media company in 1930s New York City, inheriting a small business on the brink of bankruptcy and transforming it into a thriving media empire. Expand your newsroom equipment, hire the right people for the job, and manage everything from deciding which stories get published to rearranging the ever-shrinking office layout and restocking essential charcoal to keep the building’s lights on, all in a bid to become the best-selling newspaper in the city.
Ember Knights
Following its successful PC and Nintendo Switch launch, the fast-paced co-op roguelite Ember Knights will make its debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Spring 2025. With its frantic action, deep build variety, and highly replayable co-op gameplay, Ember Knights continues to expand its audience and establish itself as a must-play in the roguelite genre.
