Private Division announces publishing partnerships with Mutazione, Sonic Mania Plus, Arise: A Simple Story developers

Private Division, the boutique publishing label under Take-Two Interactive, has announced that they have signed four new publishing agreements with big independent studios. 

The four studios are Die Gute Fabrik, Evening Star, Piccolo Studio, and Yellow Brick Games. This will make five total for the year following Private Divisions acquisition of Roll7 in January.

Die Gute Fabrik is most known for 2019’s Mutazione and are currently working on a new story-driven game. Evening Star is most known for its work with SEGA on Sonic Mania Plus, and its debut game is a currently unannounced 3D action platformer. Piccolo Studio is the team behind Arise: A Simple Story and are currently working on a new IP. And Yellow Brick Games was only founded in 2020 with many industry veterans who have worked on games like Dragon Age, Assassin’s Creed, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbox Six; their debut game will be an action RPG. 

Michael Worosz, Executive Vice President and Head of Private Division, said the following regarding the recent acquisitions. 

“At Private Division we champion the best creative talent in the games industry, and these four teams and the experiences that they are building represent an array of genres that will appeal to many different gaming audiences. Die Gute Fabrik, Evening Star, Piccolo Studio, and Yellow Brick Games each have their own wildly diverse creative visions, and we’re thrilled to help introduce their games to the world.”

Private Division doesn’t expect these developers to launch any game until Take-Two’s Fisical Year 2024.
