Devolver Announces Big Fan Games, New Label Focusing On Movie And Book Games

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing about Big Fan Games, a fresh spin-off label from the esteemed Devolver Digital. Having played my fair share of licensed games that range from marketing tie-ins to masterpieces, I find the approach taken by this new team refreshing and promising.


Greetings! Meet Big Fan Games, a fresh offshoot from Devolver Digital. This exciting new imprint will be releasing games inspired by films, TV series, graphic novels, and other popular media. The team behind this venture aims to bring a unique perspective to licensed games, having previously worked on projects such as John Wick Hex and Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, where they sought to innovate in the field.

With the arrival of Big Fan Games, no fresh games were announced. However, the publisher has expressed interest in partnering with independent developers to create games that aren’t merely promotional for movies or comics. Instead, Big Fan Games aims for its games to stand independently and make their own impact.

It’s plausible that the projects in question might involve partnerships with Disney or Dark Horse Comics, among others. Big Fan Games specifically mentioned these companies, as well as Rebellion and Lionsgate, and stated they are currently engaged in active collaboration with them.

Regarding their workforce size, Big Fan Games highlights that they are a “compact yet enthusiastic group of seasoned professionals” who have previously worked on renowned series such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Power Rangers.

It appears that Big Fan Games is open to proposals from independent teams as well. They’re eager to listen to anyone with ideas for adapting a beloved cult classic film or favorite book into a video game.
